Research
My research lies at the interface of community and quantitative ecology, incorporating principles from a diverse suite of areas including landscape ecology, modelling, ecomorphology and evolution. The main goal is to determine how different factors such as species level-traits (e.g., morphology, dispersal capacity, life history, phenotypic integration), habitat choice, landscape structure and species interactions contribute to how regional pools of potential colonizer species are sorted into local communities. This is done by combining observational studies, experimental approaches, data synthesis, quantitative frameworks and theory to understand the relative roles of these factors in structuring metacommunities, mainly involving aquatic assemblages.
