Ivan Prates, PhD

Welcome to my website!

I am an evolutionary biologist investigating the processes behind species and phenotypic trait diversification. I am currently a Researcher at Lund University in Sweden.

My research program focuses on three topics: 1) the genomic basis of phenotypic diversity; 2) drivers of among-species variation in genomic and phenotypic cohesiveness; and 3) how this variation influences speciation and morphological innovation.

I maintain this website mostly to share my scientific papers. You can find them and learn more about my research in the Publications page.

Besides science, I enjoy exercising, birdwatching, drawing, and photography. I keep two heavily planted fish tanks. I am also interested in languages, history, geography, and discovering music from different cultures.

Thank you for your visit!
