In The Ortiz-Barrientos Lab we seek to understand how natural selection drives the origin of traits and new species. We combine empirical and theoretical approaches from multiple disciplines.
We are located in beautiful Brisbane, Australia, in the School of The Environment at The University of Que …
Our research informs how plants come about and how they adapt to harsh conditions. As we seek to discover rules for adaptation, we hope this knowledge will guide research in agriculture and conservation biology. We currently collaborate with an amazing suite of researchers to figure out how plant sy …

Our lab aims to test fundamental hypotheses in genetics and evolutionary biology. Principally, we are interested the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic change during adaptive evolution. This line of inquiry requires an understanding of both the type of selection acting on traits as they e …

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Vector Biology Lab in the School of the Environment. The main focus of my research is on the population genomics of Anopheles malaria vectors from Australia, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. I am interested in understanding genetic and environmental processes …
Although many of my research interests are fundamental in nature, one of the benefits of working on mosquitoes is that there is plenty of potential for real world, tangible outcomes from my research. By understanding the population structure and evolution of mosquito vectors, we can learn how to bet …

Animals evolve… evolutionarily-conserved molluscan insulin-like peptide (Has-MIP), (2) a gastropod-specific…
Evolutionary and ecological genomics of marine invertebrate animals.
Animals evolve because their genomes need to respond to the constantly changing environment presented by both their external habitat and their internal microbial symbionts. Over evolutionary time, these different factors interact …

My research aims to understand the processes generating and eliminating genetic variation, and the consequences of these processes for the adaptation and surival of species. When populations decline due to factors like habitat loss, selection becomes less effective at maintaining a healthy, robust p …
