 Evolving in stressful environments, and its genetic and ecological consequences

This is my core area of research and I have especially strong interest on how species evolve to cope fluctuating environments. I have used quantitative genetic experiments with Drosophila and experimental evolution with bacteria to resolve if fluctuating environments cause evolutionary changes in tolerance curves. Natural continuum of this work is determination of genetic and epigenetic changes involved in adaptation to fluctuating environments, and correlative effects of evolutionary adaptations to fluctuations. Evolving in fluctuating environments has also been suggested to lead emergence of pests and pathogens.

To study real world epidemics we use large historical dataset covering hundreds of parishes across Finland during 1800's.
