Profile

Profile
I am keenly interested in terrestrial biological interactions and evolutionary changes over macroevolutionary time-scales. My main focus has been on the interspecific relationships between bryophytes and insects. I engage in various research projects with a core emphasis on revealing the natural history of diverse organisms and their life histories.
