Moi’s research focuses on the genetic processes driving species adaptation or extinction in response to new environments caused by climate change. Centered on model plant species, the team integrates long-term evolutionary experiments in field sites worldwide with molecular biology and genomics to explore the gene pathways underlying plant climate adaptation, and the speed and predictability of rapid evolution. By employing biodiversity modeling informed by genomics, this research is unveiling the impact of climate and land transformations on species evolution and the loss of genetic diversity globally.
