Work/Research
- Understand the structure and function of ecological communities and species interactions, mostly focusing on plants and pollinators
- Understand how various ecological factors influence plant and animal populations, their interactions and their community structure from a basic ecological perspective and under various anthropogenic disturbance scenarios (e.g., climate change, urbanization, habitat destruction)
- Understand the consequences of declining pollinator populations for native plants
- Understand the flexibility of plant-pollinator interaction networks in response to various stresses
- Understand which native bees are able to survive and reproduce in urban environments compared to less urban areas
- Understand how climate change influences the timing of important biological events (phenology) and understand the consequences of changes in the timing of biological events
