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.

Elisabeth Reyes (PhD student)
Elisabeth is doing her PhD on floral key innovations in the angiosperms, co-supervised by Sophie Nadot (Université Paris-Sud). Her previous research as a master's student focused on the plant family Proteaceae, testing patterns of diversification rates and reconstructing the evolution of floral symmetry in the group.

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. University webpage |
