My research addresses the patterns and processes behind the distribution of species and their characteristics in space and time. I research how species (fail to) adapt to global change and use that information to inform policy and conservation decision-making.
By studying how fundamental and realized niche dynamics affect the potential geographic distribution of species, and when & how integrating information on population processes, landscape connectivity, and dispersal capacities allows for better prediction of responses to scenarios of global change, my research addresses the patterns and processes behind the distribution of species and their characteristics in space and time.
A second main research line questions how changes in the quantity, quality and spatial configuration of land use can impact biodiversity.
My overarching research goal is to improve predictions of future ecological change, design effective adaptation strategies for safeguarding biodiversity, and to better manage invasive species.
