RESEARCH FOCUS:
ECOLOGY, EVOLUTION AND CONSERVATION IN OPEN ECOSYSTEMS
Our lab mainly focuses on the ecology, evolution and conservation in ecosystems subject to disturbance, either natural or anthropogenic. The work is divided into three themes:
- Biogeography, ecology and conservation of grassy ecosystems
(disturbance: fire, herbivory, drought, anthropogenic) - Ecology and evolution of plant defences
(disturbance: herbivory) - Landscape fragmentation effects on biodiversity
(disturbance: anthropogenic)
