Research

 

The analysis of species community structure allows insights into the processes and mechanisms structuring communities to understand how species communities are assembled. Including phylogenetic data into the study of community ecology and diversity has made it possible to explore theories about the influence of historical and ecological factors in structuring communities.

My research focuses on the question how communities of termites are assembled in west African savannas and if these assemblies of species change over time. If this is the case the processes and mechanisms influencing this change shall be analysed.
