Current Research:
Isabel studies the phylogenetics, biogeography, and speciation of fungus moths (Tineidae family), specifically the widespread pest species, the webbing-clothes moth (Tineola bisselliella). She is most interested in the causes and consequences of synanthropic life-history evolution: how have these organisms colonized the anthropogenic environment?
