About Lukas Schärer

Lukas Schärer, With an exceptional h-index of 39 and a recent h-index of 25 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Universität Basel, specializes in the field of sex allocation, sexual selection, sexual conflict, hermaphrodites.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Contrasting the form and strength of pre-and postcopulatory sexual selection in a flatworm

Genome assemblies of the simultaneously hermaphroditic flatworms Macrostomum cliftonense and Macrostomum hystrix

Hermaphroditic origins of anisogamy

Frequent origins of traumatic insemination involve convergent shifts in sperm and genital morphology

Anisogamy explains why males benefit more from additional matings

Large-scale phylogenomics of the genus Macrostomum (Platyhelminthes) reveals cryptic diversity and novel sexual traits

Evolution of sex allocation plasticity in a hermaphroditic flatworm genus

Evolution: Mitochondrial lodgers can take over in hermaphroditic snails
