Forschungsinteresse<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

I investigate long-term changes in insect assemblages using existing long-term monitoring data that I assembled from publications and repositories. The questions I am particularly interested in answering are: how is insect diversity changing over time? What drives this change, and what are the consequences? Next to this data synthesis approach, I am now taking a closer look at particular high quality datasets to investigate the drivers of change for particular insect groups, such as butterflies and ground beetles, where I work to make all this data publicly available. The data I assembled are also used in projects led by my colleagues Shane Blowes and Wubing Xu.<\/p>\n

I am also interested in the collection of new insect monitoring data, both by traditional means and using modern technologies, such as DNA barcoding, radar, computer vision and acoustic monitoring. I co-founded an international expert group on technological insect monitoring that aims at improving communication among different technologies, countries and projects. This has already led to several new projects:\u00a0https:\/\/www.cost.eu\/actions\/CA22129\/<\/a>\u00a0and several proposals.<\/p>\n

Most recently I have started working in interdisciplinary collaborations to understand the relations between the biodiversity crisis and the other crises that humanity is facing.<\/p>\n

Previously I worked on the drivers of arthropod diversity in grasslands. I studied how mowing regimes can be altered to benefit biodiversity at the University of Bern, Switzerland. I also studied the effects of rewilding with large herbivores on arthropod communities in the Oostvaardersplassen (The Netherlands) at the University of Groningen (NL). My PhD research (also at University of Groningen) focused on the importance of livestock species and densities for biodiversity of salt marshes under nature conservation.<\/p>\n
