I am broadly interested in the evolutionary ecology of plants. My main focus of research is on the rapid evolution of locally adapted traits of invasive species across broad biogeographical scales, with a special focus on reproduction and reproductive systems. Biogeographic comparisons of closely related invasive and non-invasive species provide novel insights into invasive ecology. Our results suggest that local adaptation and reproductive isolation can occur at fastest rates than it was previously thought, and might have broad biogeographic implications for the understanding of allopatry and speciation processes. Among other systems, I work on the ecology of invasive acacia trees (Acacia dealbata and A. longifolia), ecophysiology and reproductive trade-offs, and reproductive and conservation ecology. I am the Editor-in-Chief of Web Ecology the journal of the European Ecological Federation-EEF. I am also Coordinating Editor for the Nordic Journal of Botany.
