Research
My research focuses on ecological and evolutionary processes which maintain the diversity of species and their interactions in a human-dominated world. My research is not limited to a particular scale or type of organism. Only the goal of my research stays the same across projects, namely finding ways to harmonize the well-being of people and nature.
Currently: Coordination of the BEF-China - MultiTroph project
