Evolutionary Systematics and History of Science

• Phylogenetic analysis, evolutionary ecology and historical zoogeography, with a focus on molluscs
• Taxonomy and systematics of non-marine gastropods
• Evolution, systematics and zoogeography of subtropical and tropical fresh- and brackish water gastropods within the Cerithioidea i.e. Thiaridae sensu lato, Melanopsidae Pleuroceridae, Batillariidae, Potamididae
• History and theory of biology, in particular evolutionary biology in the 19th and 20th century.
• Phylogenetic analysis of marine and limnic Cerithioidea using morphological and molecular data
• Evolution of viviparous reproductive strategies in limnic gastropods
• Evolutionary ecology and speciation of limnic molluscs in so-called "ancient lakes", in particular:
  Adaptive radiation of thalassoid snails in East African Lake Tanganyika
  Evolutionary ecology of a radiation of limnic snails (Pachychilidae) ind the central lakes of Sulawesi, Indonesia
