Research
I’m interested in basic and applied stream ecology, focusing on function, spatial distribution and temporal variability in diversity and composition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and eco-physiological performance along environmental and geographical gradients in e.g. altitude, temperature and oxygen. Currently, I am working mainly with structure and function of tropical glacial streams in the highAndes.
