Marius Rösti

PhD student in the group of Walter Salzburger.

Current research

To me, diversity is life’s most fascinating aspect. In my work, I am trying to understand the evolutionary processes underlying biological diversification. I am particularly interested in the application of new genomic tools within an ecological framework. My main model system is the recent radiation of threespine stickleback fish into distinct habitats in Western Canada and Central Europe.
