My research lies in the interface between physiology, ecology and evolution. Lineages differ in a variety of attributes that ultimately shape the range of environmental conditions that they can tolerate and how they interact with other organisms. In this context, I am broadly interested in understanding, from a mechanistic perspective, how evolutionary history partly explains and contributes to observed ecological patterns, and employ a variety of empirical, comparative and theoretical approaches to study this subject. Current research topics include the evolution of physiological performance and integrated phenotypes, the association between tolerance limits and geographic distribution and the fingerprint of evolutionary history on ecological networks of species interactions.
