Research environment: freshwaters (including wetlands)

Taxonomic group of interest: algae, bryophytes, insects, vascular plants

Field of research: biogeography, community ecology

Anthropogenic impact under investigation: climate change, habitat modifications, invasive species, population changes and species decline







In my research, I seek to understand how biodiversity has changed over time and what the underlying processes causing the changes are. Currently, I am working in the GloBioTrends project, where I am analysing spatial and temporal beta diversity of stream macroinvertebrate communities and beyond. However, I am interested in a wide variety of freshwater organisms and environments at different spatial and temporal scales.
