Dr. Nicky Lustenhouwer

I am an evolutionary ecologist broadly interested in evolution during range shifts and invasions, including changes in dispersal, local adaptation, and genetic diversity. I am a guest researcher at NIOO, where I work with Prof. Wim van der Putten on changing plant-soil interactions during the native and exotic range expansion of the annual plant Dittrichia graveolens. I am a research associate at the University of California, Santa Cruz and will start a new postdoc at the University of Aberdeen on April 1st, 2022. Please see my google scholar profile for my publications.
