.

My research focuses on modelling macroecological pattern and ecological dynamics of species, populations and biodiversity. I additionally have a strong interest in functional ecology and phylogenetic, and in better understanding the processes and constraints that limit species ranges at large spatial scales. This includes their physiological limitations, demographic processes, as well as interactions at the community level.

Funding somes primarily from EU- and National Science Foundation grants, from SAEFL and WSL, and occasionally from the USDA Forest Service. I use statistics, GIS and remote sensing, as well as own programming for data analyses and modelling. Personally, I am involved in a series of ongoing projects (ATTN: outdated).
