The Amphibian Evolution Lab is situated in Brussels and is mainly working on the reconstruction of different aspects of amphibian evolution. We tackle multiple kinds of question using modern integrative biology, combining fieldwork and biological essays with lab expertise in transcriptomics, genomics and phylogenetics. Our current research can be divided in three distinct, but often closely intertwined themes: 1) the natural history and evolution group, 2) the toxinocology group and 3) the sensory ecology group.
