Research interests     

 

I am interested in arthropods, with a special affinity for grasshoppers. My main goal in the PhD is to disentangle the impact of mowing on grassland arthropods and to help improve biodiversity conservation. With the BioDivKultur project, we also want to raise awareness for the appreciation and protection of biodiversity in a political, social and cultural context.
