CURRICULUM VITAE Name: Lukas Keller Date and place of birth: December 31, 1966 in Basel Nationality: Swiss Family status: Married, one child Address: Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies, University of Zurich, Winterthurerstrasse 190, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland Phone +41 44 635 4750, Secretary 4751, Fax 6818 email: lukas.keller@ieu.uzh.ch Research interests My research interests focus on the ecology and evolution of natural populations. I‘m interested in how the dynamics and evolution of natural populations are being shaped by genetic, evolutionary, and ecological processes. I test my hypotheses using a variety of approaches at different levels of biological organization: the individual, the population, and the metapopulation. My research explicitly considers the interactions among genetic, evolutionary, and ecological processes and combines field studies of ecologically important traits with population genetics theory and molecular analyses of genetic variation. I‘m fascinated by the evolutionary questions which I study, but it is also important to me that some of my work is relevant to conservation.
