Welcome to my website
I am a PostDoc in the Experimental Interaction Ecology group led by Nico Eisenhauer at iDiv in Leipzig, Germany, where I am studying global-change impacts on multitrophic communities and ecosystem functioning.
As a community ecologist, I am broadly interested in anthropogenic impacts on natural ecosystems. Across ecosystem types, anthropogenic drivers such as climate change, land-use change, eutrophication and species invasions trigger changes in communities of living organisms. Biodiversity, community composition, body-size structure, food-web structure and fluxes of energy through trophic networks are altered in response to biotic and abiotic stressors with severe consequences for the functions and services provided by natural ecosystems.
Throughout my scientific career, I have worked on terrestrial (both above- and belowground), marine, and freshwater systems in temperate, boreal, and tropical biomes. Over the years, I have conducted extensive field surveys, in-situ mesocosm experiments, laboratory experiments, and ecological synthesis. Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning theory, food-web theory, metabolic theory and ecological stoichiometry theory form the theoretical background for most of my work.

Profiles
Research Activities
- I am coordinating the EcoStressWeb experiment in the iDiv Ecotron looking at combined effects of climate change and arthropod predation on above-belowground communities and ecosystem processes in a temperate forest soil/litter system. Check the twitter hashtag #EcoStressWeb for updates.
- As a PostDoc in the Experimental Interaction Ecology group at iDiv, I study global-change impacts on multitrophic communities and ecosystem functioning. Here, I am combining lab experiments, field experiments, observational approaches, simulations, and ecological synthesis. Recent papers in Ecology & Evolution and Eur. J. Soil Sci. provide a comprehensive introduction to calculating energy flux through ecological communities.
- As a PostDoc in the EcoWorm project at iDiv, I investigate the multitrophic, community-scale impacts of invasive earthworms on northern North American forest systems. A project overview has been published in Research Ideas and Outcomes. Our Oikos paper investigates earthworm-invasion effects on soil-fauna communities across size classes and biodiversity facets. Several other papers are in the pipeline, e.g. one on earthworm invasion impacts on energy flux through arthropod food webs.
- As a PostDoc with the Jena Experiment in Bern, I related biodiversity experiments to real-world ecosystems in order to clarify the relevance of biodiversity experiments for real-world ecosystems. Papers from this period are e.g. published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, PNAS, and Advances in Ecological Research.
- For my PostDoc with the BEFmate project, I focused on studying effects of community body size structure and resource stoichiometry on species richness, biomass and feeding rates of invertebrate consumers. The results are now published in the two 2017 papers in The American Naturalist and the Journal of Animal Ecology.
- For my PhD with the EFForTS project, I investigated macro-invertebrate communities of the litter layer in tropical lowland rainforest, jungle rubber, rubber and oil palm monoculture plantations. Results from my PhD are e.g. published in our 2014 shared-first-author paper in Nat. Commun. and in the 2015 Biol. Cons. paper of our M.Sc. student Steffen Mumme. Another manuscript on length-mass regressions of temperate and tropical terrestrial macro-invertebrates, with Esra Sohlström as the first and myself as the senior author, is published in Ecology and Evolution.
- For my diploma project, I worked with Dr. Eoin O'Gorman at Lough Hyne, a highly sheltered marine reserve in Southwest Ireland. Using Carcinus maenas as top predator in a mesocosm experiment situated in the shallow subtidal of the Lough, we investigated impacts of nutrient enrichment and altered top predator population size structure on the food web of the Lough's shallow subtidal. Results from this experiment are published in our 2012 paper in Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. B.
