Oliver Yves Martin

Dr. Oliver Yves Martin is a Lecturer in the Department of Biology at ETH Zurich, investigating evolutionary conflicts and their impact on biodiversity under rapid environmental change. His research uses insect models to study selection mechanisms.

Research Focus:

• Interplay between natural and sexual selection dynamics
• Environmental change effects on reproductive isolation
• Evolutionary consequences of sexual conflict
• Host-parasite coevolutionary mechanisms
• Extinction risks in changing ecosystems

Experimental approaches include manipulating temperature variables and inbreeding pressures to assess impacts on reproductive traits. Current projects examine how climate change alters selection pressures in insect populations.
