I use molecular approaches to study the reproductive biology, adaptation, and evolutionary history of tropical trees used by humans in order to develop strategies for biodiversity management and conservation.

Keywords
  • Domestication of tropical fruit trees
  • Tropical forests
  • Genetic diversity
  • Local knowledge
  • Management practices
