Summary
I investigate how communities are structured in fragmented landscapes of tropical regions. Current research addresses the following questions:
- how biogeographical factors influence local species responses to habitat transformation
- how local species extinction disrupts ecosystem functioning
- thresholds and decline of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across tropical regions
For more information on the current group and research please check the CALE Lab group website.
This is our group (2019), if you want to join us, please send me an email
