Why are the Tropics So Biodiverse?
This deceptively simple question is what drives me as a biologist.
I am Rowan Schley, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Exeter. My research largely centres around speciation and hybridisation genomics in tropical trees, with a particular focus on whether hybridisation catalyses rapid diversification in species-rich tropical tree groups.
More generally, as a naturalist I am fascinated by questions surrounding the evolution, biogeography, ecology and conservation of tropical biodiversity across the tree of life.
