Research

We are currently working on several distinct research projects dealing with questions of multitrophic species coexistence and ecosystem function. These projects use a range of scientific approaches from large-scale observational studies to field experiments and lab microcosm experiments. Additional ideas for collaborations and new projects related to these questions are always welcome.
