I am a global change ecologist. My main research interests are biodiversity, macroecology and global change. I am particularly interested in biodiversity synthesis and biodiversity patterns, and how we can generalize information across taxa and habitats, and furthermore across scales. In my research, I examine patterns of biodiversity change over space and time using long-term data, and link these patterns to large scale environmental drivers, such as climate and land-use.
