Research

As a PhD candidate within the ConFoBi Research Group (Conservation of Forest Biodiversity) on sub-project B3 / 2nd phase: Diversity, functions and trophic interactions of arthropods. I will be researching the interactions between insect communities and plants in plots in the Black Forest. Specifically, I will be examining the effects of forest retention measures on insect communities and food web interactions to gain insights on what measures are most effective for the conservation of Forest insects, and what management strategies foster greater ecosystem stability. This will be done in conjunction with PhD candidates on other sub-projects to form a strong interdisciplinary approach.
