Dr. Yann Gager

Main Focus

My research interests focus on evolutionary ecology, covering the fields of molecular genetics to behavioral and population ecology. I have been involved in research projects entailing fieldwork with both bats and birds in France, Ireland and Panama. Apart from this, my research also involved laboratory work and molecular genetics, from phylogenetics, population genetics to relatedness analyses. I am especially keen on interdisciplinary projects and analyses.
