Victoria Twort – new postdoc

Victoria’s interests are in applying genomic techniques to organisms in order to better understand evolutionary relationships and the patterns and processes of molecular evolution and diversification both at intra- and inter-specific levels. Victoria completed her PhD at The University of Auckland, New Zealand with Thomas Buckley and Richard Newcomb. For her thesis, she used genomics techniques to investigation various evolutionary aspects of weta biology. In particular, she looked at molecular evolutionary patterns associated with alpine adaptation, de novo assembly of a giant weta genome and undertook a conservation genetic analysis of three threatened species. Victoria has now started working as a postdoc with Niklas Wahlberg on Lepidoptera phylogenomics.
