I am a research associate at the Department of General Zoology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. My research investigates ecological and evolutionary processes from genes through species and ecosystems, to quantify global change effects on biodiversity, mutualistic interactions and the ecosystem service of pollination. My main research topics fall within the field of Community and Evolutionary Ecology of Insects. They include insect biodiversity, evolutionary biology, plant-pollinator interactions, host-parasite interactions and pollination.

Big in the City: Urban Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Bumblebee Body Size and Pollination

Urbanization is arguably one of the most rapid and conspicuous human-driven environmental changes, and fragmentation is one of the most pervasive outcomes of urbanization. Patches of vegetation within the built matrix of a typical cityscape, such as parks and gardens, are usually small and isolated and movement among them potentially jeopardized.
