Astrid Groot’s main research question is how sexual attraction is involved in the initial divergence of populations, and thus the first step in speciation. Since sexual attraction can directly lead to assortative mating, her group at the University of Amsterdam aims to understand which genes are involved in within-species variation and which factors may cause variation in sexual attraction.
