I study how patterns of biodiversity shift in space and time with a focus on pollinators. I'm particularly interested in the influence of climate and land use changes.
Keywords
Wild bees, pollination, global change, biodiversity, modeling, conservation, monitoring
Researchinterests
-
How land use and climate changes affect biodiversity across time and space and how these changes are influenced by traits, phylogeny and interactions
-
Statistical techniques and tools for analyzing and modeling species distribution and diversity
-
Global patterns of insular wild bee diversity and distribution
-
The influence of environmental changes on wild bees as crop pollinators
