An EconoTimes perspective

PhD candidate, Swansea University

PhD candidate, Swansea University I am interested in large-scale biogeographic patterns and the underlying mechanisms and processes. Species' dispersal (natural dispersal, invasions and range shifts) is a particular favourite of mine, especially in the context of land-use and climate changes. It is one of the proccesses at the origin of biodiversity as it can lead to speciation, and it determines where we can find which species today. I completed a joint PhD programme between Swansea University (Wales, UK) and Université Grenoble Alpes (France), and have now moved to Germany for a postdoc position.
