Gadau, Jürgen

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Dr. Gadau's research interests focuses on the causes and consequences of genetic variability in solitaire and social Hymenoptera. In particular, he wants to understand the evolutionary processes leading to speciation and adaptation and what are the essential genetic changes involved in these processes.

Dr. Gadau also has a long standing interest in the study of the evolution of social insect societies with a focus on ants. He is especially interested in the evolution of polyandry and polygyny.
