Aquatic Ecology & Evolution

Aquatic Ecology & Evolution

 

About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Eawag (Kastanienbaum), in Ole Seehausen's (Eawag/UniBE) and Niklaus Zimmermann's (WSL/ETH Zürich) research groups. My research interests are centered on understanding how evolutionary and ecological processes shape and maintain the biodiversity surrounding us. To do so, I use an integrative approach, combining disciplines (such as biogeography, phylogeography, macroevolution, and macroecology) as well as distinct sources of information (e.g. morphological, molecular, phylogenetic, and geospatial data).

Currently, I am part of the Blue-Green Biodiversity Research Initiative, an Eawag–WSL collaboration that addresses many different ecological and evolutionary questions regarding biodiversity at the interface of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In my project, I am reconstructing the evolutionary history of biodiversity in the Alps, one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in Europe. By using an island biogeography approach, my goal is to investigate the interaction between immigration and speciation in the origins of the regional pool of aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity.

My research has been funded by BGB 2020 (Sep 2020–Dec 2021) and Academic Transition Grant (Jan–Jun 2022; 205221.00979.008.05 ATG21).
