Charlie Cornwallis is a Professor at Lund University, focusing on molecular ecology and functional ecology. He leads the Evolution Lab where his research investigates major evolutionary transitions such as the origins of multicellularity, sexual reproduction, and the evolution of group living. His work combines experimental and phylogenetic comparative approaches to study a variety of systems, including cooperative breeding in birds and multicellular organisms like green algae. Cornwallis explores pressing questions about how complex life forms are maintained and the role of organismal design in these transitions, contributing significantly to understanding ecological consequences and evolutionary processes. He has engaged in successful collaborations on projects related to genetic variation and individual resource accrual in species such as Trinidadian guppies, and has actively contributed to educational and research outreach.
