I am interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes governing species distribution. In previous projects, I assessed how past evolutionary, demographic and environmental factors play a role in shaping contemporary species' range limits, using the North American plant species Arabidopsis lyrata subsp. lyrata. My current research project focusses on how a complex evolutionary history affects adaptation and response to changing climates of rear-edge populations - relicts of those that persisted in glacial refugia and which often occur at the warmer distribution end of a species - using the American bellflower Campanula americana as study system.
