We use an integrative approach of genomics, protein structure and function, and phylogeny to understand how eyes originate and change over time in weird animals.

COMPARATIVE GENOMICS of eye evolution
What is the relationship between genetic complexity and the evolution of novel traits?
Evolution of phototransduction proteins
How does change at the amino acid level affect spectral tuning, light-sensitivity and protein-protein interactions in the photoreceptor organs?
Phylogenetics and trait evolution
Taking a macroevolutionary perspective, how does the evolution of eyes, swimming behavior or change in shell shape affect biological diversification?
