Research

Interests

General interest: Evolutionary Geobiology of Land Plants with focus on ferns and other seed-free land plants. My research incorporates various research approaches including phylogenetics, population genetics, evolutionary morphology and taxonomy.

Current Projects

Diversification of ferns in East Asia and South East Asia

East Asia and South East Asia include several of fern diversity hotspots.  These research projects are aiming to discover the processes of species assembling and maintenance in this region especially in responds to the rise of the Tibetan plateau and the collision of SE Asia and the Australian craton.  The research project involves collaborations with research groups in China (X-C Zhang, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, PR China).

Barcoding ferns and other land plants

Barcoding is a promising concept for fern diversity research.  My research groups is actively involved in the development of barcoding regions to obtain DNA based identification of gametophytes and young sporophytes of ferns.

Integrating climate/ distribution modeling, population genetics, and phylogenetics

The reconstruction of many evolutionary processes in the past make explicit statements concerning the distribution of taxa in the past and their evolutionary responds to climatic fluctuations.  This research aims to integrate analytical approaches developed in climate/ distribution modeling, population genetics and phylogenetics. Current studies address the question of climatic niche conservatism in major lineages of ferns. Distribution modeling depends on the access to reliable distribution data as conserved in the collections of the NHM. The project is carried out in collaboration with Nadia Bystriakova.

Adaptive radiation of land plants

Land plants underwent various diversification and extinction events since their successful colonisation of terrestrial habitats. The studies involved aim to discover general processes underlying these events such as the role of key innovations and to discover relationships among these diversification events such as evidence for parallel rapid diversification of several lineages of land plants in the Cretaceous. Sub-projects are focusing on the early diversification of land plants he diversification of land plants in the late Cretaceous, and Tertiary changes in plant diversity. See

Courant Research Centre Geobiology

Diversification of asplenioid ferns and the evolution of climate niche

The genus Asplenium is one of the most species rich genera of plants and the most diverse genus among ferns. Its evolution and taxonomy is poorly understood. The project has two main objectives. First, to uncover the phylogenetic relationships within the genus and the geographical and ecological aspects of the diversification of this highly diverse pantropical and pantemperate fern lineage. Second, to investigate the evolution of climate niches in plant lineages and relationships between diversification and extinction rate to ecological preferences.

Diversification of ferns in biodiversity hotspots and Oceanic islands 

This project is aiming to investigate major process of diversity assembly including neutral versus non-neutral assembling processes by studying the diversity of fern communities in biodiversity hotspots such as Madagascar and Oceanic islands such as Mascarene islands.

Taxonomic relationships of Polypodiaceae and other fern families

 This ongoing collaborative set of projects targets the diversity of the highly species rich and mainly epiphytic fern lineage of Polypodiaceae as well as other lineages of ferns such as scaly tree ferns (Cyatheacae) and Pteridaceae. Within this project the generic classification of these ferns are revised. Previous results include the description of one new genus and the redefinition of several other genera.

Diversification of liverworts through time

This is a collaborative study together with Jochen Heinrichs, Jörg Hentschel and Alexander Schmidt (all Georg-August University Goettingen). The major goals are the reconstruction of the diversification of leafy liverworts, especially Porelales, using DNA sequence variation and the fossil record of these plants.
