My general research goal is to understand evolution of fishes. Recently the main focus of my research team is on sensory genomics and understanding the molecular evolution and adaptation of fish sensory systems (vision, smell, taste). We work with various fish groups, such as tropical cichlids, temperate cyprinids, deep-sea fishes and fascinating elephant fishes. Apart of that, I also focus on the biodiversity and biogeography patterns, evolution of fish genomes and speciation genomics.
