Research
In my research, I will estimate phenotypic and genetic variances and covariances of the pigmentation, shape and morphological traits of the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus. By breeding families of this species in a common laboratory environment, using both full-sib and half-sib quantitative genetic designs, I will estimate G-matrices from different habitats and lakes. I will bring in families from different populations adapted to different habitats, with the goal to to compare G-matrices between different populations and habitats. These quantitative genetic approaches will be combined with geometric morphometric analysis and sexual selection experiments. The final goal is to partition phenotypic and genetic variation of various adaptive traits (pigmentation, size, shape) into various variance components (additive, dominance, maternal effects) and to quantify the genetic covariances between traits that may bias adaptive phenotypic evolution in this species.
