Eveline Diepeveen

PhD student in the group of Walter Salzburger.

Current research

I am interested in the processes underlying genetic and phenotypic variation between individuals, populations, species etc. What are the causes for phenotypic changes and where in the genome have alterations taken place that are responsible for these changes? In my current project I study these kinds of questions in a model system for evolutionary research; cichlid fishes. In particular I focus on the molecular basis of naturally and sexually selected traits.

and else?

Best place to relax is a deserted desert, where you can chase lizards, have a good hike, be amazed by the view and the amazing adaptations of the plants and animals and finish the day with a good BBQ.
