His main research topics comprise the intraspecific biodiversity, phylogeography, population genetics and conservation of mammals and birds, with a particular focus on red deer and other ungulates. He also has a long-standing interest in species concepts and the species problem as well as other theoretical and philosophical issues in evolutionary biology and systematics. He was the editor-in-chief of the journal Mammalian Biology from2007 to 2021, and he is currently the editor of the Mammalia series within the Handbook of Zoology.

“The book is a very helpful source to study wild terrestrial artiodactyla in Europe. It will become one of the references for the even-toed ungulates of Europe.” (Thiemo Braasch, Suiform Soundings, Vol. 22 (1), 2023)
