In The Ortiz-Barrientos Lab we seek to understand the genetic and ecological basis of the origin of new species and traits. We combine empirical and theoretical approaches from multiple disciplines.
We are located in beautiful Brisbane, Australia, in the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Queensland.
Please explore our pages to learn about research, culture, and the team of scientists that bring their passion and creativity to discovering how nature works.
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 systems work. Together we aim to discover better ways to produce healthy and productive crops that increase food security.

The evolution of reproductive isolation during polygenic adaptation
Project available to start in 2023
This project seeks to understand mathematically, via computational experiments, the genetic connexion between polygenic evolution and speciation. The theory of how genetic correlations between adaptation and speciation arise remains a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. As a student, you will have ample room to explore this connexion and have access to empirical data discovering the mechanisms underlying this genetic correlation. In this project, you will also explore how systems biology can inform the origins of hybrid sterility and inviability and its relation to adaptive traits modulated by complex genetic networks.

The evolution of reproductive isolation during polygenic adaptation
Project available to start in 2023
This project seeks to understand mathematically, via computational experiments, the genetic connexion between polygenic evolution and speciation. The theory of how genetic correlations between adaptation and speciation arise remains a fundamental problem in evolutionary biology. As a student, you will have ample room to explore this connexion and have access to empirical data discovering the mechanisms underlying this genetic correlation. In this project, you will also explore how systems biology can inform the origins of hybrid sterility and inviability and its relation to adaptive traits modulated by complex genetic networks.
