Research interests My research interests are morphology, evolution, life history and population biology. Most of my work has focused on amphibians and reptiles as model systems. My recent research is related to the congruence between genetic, morphological variation and variation in early life history traits (European newts as model system), and the effects of paedomorphosis on morphological variation. In collaboration with the Belgrade entomological team I am working on the congruence between genetic and morphological variation using aphids parasitoids as a model organism.
