Hervé Sauquet (group leader)
I am an evolutionary biologist and botanist with a broad interest in macroevolution. A key focus of my current and future research is to unravel and better understand large-scale patterns in the evolution of flowers.

Qian Zhang (PhD student)
Qian is doing his PhD on the evolution of dioecy in Moraceae, funded by the China Scholarship Council. His previous research as a master's student at the East China Normal University in Shanghai focused on the phylogeography of figs. Qian is based in Laboratoire Écologie, Systématique, Évolution (ESE) at Université Paris-Sud in France.
