M.Sc. Oscar Perez Flores
PhD candidate
I’m interested in the evolution and ecology of insects. I investigated phylogenetic and ecological relationships, and diversification patterns of arthropods. My current Ph.D. research is focused on the evolution of ecological preferences of ants and beetles using phylogenomic, phylogeographic and population genetic information from different environments.
