New preprint: The geometry of gametic dispersal in a flying mammal, Rhinolophus hipposideros

Mating dispersal in the lesser horseshoe bat

I am proud of this new preprint on the geometry of gametic dispersal in a flying mammal, Rhinolophus hipposideros. This study, supervised by Eric Petit, examines how different dispersal strategies influence gene flow in the lesser horseshoe bat, revealing both a high number of males mating in the colony they reside and extreme long-distance mating dispersal in a few males.

My current research interests span a broad range of molecular and population genetic processes, involving the study of patterns of genetic diversity and molecular evolution at the scale of genomes, species, and populations. It includes the causes and consequences of meiotic recombination, the evolution of gene expression and genetic structural variation among populations and species.
