Iliana Medina

My research interests combine the worlds of behavioural ecology and macroevolution. I am passionate about understanding the evolution of animal behaviours and the adaptations that animals have to their habitat.

Why have these strategies evolved? How do they affect the evolutionary destiny of the species? For most of my research I combine work in the field, laboratory or museum with broad-scale comparative analyses. This integrative approach allows us to understand in depth the evolutionary drivers of the diversity of forms and colours we see in nature.
