Research Interests

I am a PhD student at the Chair of Biogeography at the University of Bayreuth. My main research interests include:

• Isolation patterns as a consequence of speciation (at local, regional and global scales)
• Global treeline elevations and there ecologic and geographic drivers
  
• Macroecological patterns of diversity and endemism
• Oceanic islands and high-elevated ecosystems (sky islands)
  

I am experienced to apply statistical analyses (univariate and multivariate methods), models and GIS with R and open source software.
