How biodiversity patterns are shaped by biotic and abiotic factors across time and space?
Species and their populations are dynamically changing within ecosystems across time and space. Tracking these dynamics and their drivers are the core objectives of macroecology and biogeography. Abiotic and biotic factors are historically shaping the distribution patterns of biodiversity at different levels: population, species, ecosystems. By integrating a wide range of data at these three biodiversity levels and using cutting-edged statistical approaches, I aim to portrait these dynamics to investigate fundamental questions in ecology, evolution and conservation biology.
Biodiversity is structured within intricate networks of interactions and metabolic processes across ecosystems, spanning multiple taxa and functional groups. In recent years, my research has increasingly focused on investigating the dynamics, architecture, and turnover of biodiversity networks across environmental gradients and biomes, as well as identifying the key drivers shaping these patterns.
