About

Liliana D'Alba is a Guest Professor at Universiteit Gent in Belgium. Her research areas include the evolution of color mechanisms in birds and the ecological aspects of color variation in sunbird species. She has contributed to recent publications on topics such as iridescence in mammals, biomimetic materials inspired by reptiles, and the influence of habitat openness on color evolution in squamates. Through her work, she explores the convergence of biomineralization patterns across animal eggshells and the speciation dynamics associated with color mechanisms.
