Welcome to my homepage!
My main research interests are macroecology,
biogeography, and tropical ecology. I am interested in patterns of
biodiversity at various spatial scales (local to global).
Why are some places richer in species than others? What governs the
distribution of diversity across the globe? These are very challenging
questions, although they are on the research agenda now for at least
200 years. In my research, I am aiming at separating different
ecological and historical controls of species richness. If we are to
conserve a significant portion of the world's biodiversity, knowledge
about geographic patterns of biodiversity and their underlying causes
is urgently needed.

I am currently establishing a junior research
group at the University
of
Göttingen. Fulltime postdoc and
halftime PhD student positions are available in my group.
