Research interests
I'm broadly interested in ecological processes, especially in species distributions and how they are affected by global change.
I like data analyses and modelling, particularly when spatial data are involved, however, I also enjoy going outside and gathering data myself.
Within the DEBTs project, I aim to disentangle the importance of abiotic and biotic drivers of observed changes in North American breeding birds using a 50-year time series of count data.
