Anna Hewett

Dr. Anna Hewett is a Researcher in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), affiliated with the Goudet Group. Her work focuses on evolutionary genetics, conservation biology, and population dynamics in wildlife and plants. She is located in Office BIO-4310 and can be reached at anna.hewett@unil.ch.

Her research investigates inbreeding depression in wild populations of red deer, spatial genetic variation in fitness traits, and sexual dimorphism in plant species like Silene latifolia. She develops molecular tools for sexing plants and explores genetic mechanisms underlying population persistence.

Recent studies highlight her contributions to understanding how genetic architecture influences inbreeding outcomes in deer populations, parasite impacts on genetic health, and evolutionary processes shaping plant sexual traits.

No scientific awards are listed, but her work aligns with conservation and evolutionary research priorities. She collaborates within the Goudet Group to advance population genetics methodologies and ecological applications.
