Short presentation
Professor in Conservation Biology. My research focuses on: 1) Effects of the microbial agent Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) on terrestrial ecosystems, 2) Conservation ecology of urban ponds, 3) Potential responses to climate change: from genotype to community level. For more information, see my webpage.
I am course responsible for the course Ecology and Population genetics. I also teach Behavioural Ecology and Ecological Methods.
