Profil

Forschungsgruppe

Ökoevolutionsdynamik

Kompetenzen

I research the tight interaction between ecological and evolutionary processes to understand how trait changes and trait variation in response to environmental change shape community structure and ecosystem functioning in time and space. In my research group, we combine theoretical and experimental approaches to address innovative research questions on eco-evolutionary dynamics in communities.
