I have long-standing interest in evolution and genetics in natural populations. In particular, I am interested in describing patterns of diversity displayed in the level of genes, populations and species, and potential mechanisms that shape such diversity. I have broad experience with the development and application of various genetic markers in non-model species (Štovícek et al. 2011, Wang et al. 2009), as well as using of statistical tools in phylogenetics (Crottini et al. 2010, Liang et al. 2010) and population genetics (Liu, 2011, PhD thesis). Birds are most frequently investigated in my studies (Liu et al. 2006,Chen et al. 2009, Liu et al. 2009), but I have experience in studying other organisms, such as insects, fish, reptiles and mammals.
