As head of sDiv I'm overseeing the research program in the synthesis centre here at iDiv. I'm closely working with the sDiv board developing new funding ideas and collaboration strategies.
 

As scientist, I together with the great Postdoc Lirong Cai (still including my former postdoc, now being Ass Prof @ Univ Grenoble Matthias Grenie) form the Macroecology of Plant Invasion group and are interested in different aspects (theory, diversity patterns and what drives them, functional & phylogenetic diversity etc) of plant invasions across different spatial scales. We are not only analysing and exploring macroecological patterns and trying to explain them we also develop workflows to do macroecological work more efficient, data gaps and how to fill them. We also work on general topics how different research communities should work closer together to tackle the grand challenges.

When referring to my life as scientist, I sometimes describe myself as "Wildlife ecologist in macroecologists clothing with a species invasion cap and a macroevolutionary hanky who worked the last years also with plants."

But  I'm also a science manager who sees huge potential to improve the links between research(ers) & administration & regulations supporting both (e.g. one of my pet topics is the German law how to pay ppl who were on stipends before -> not fair compared to colleagues not on stipend but doing the same job). Due to my Synthesis Centre job I got also very much interested how to measure research impact and how science itself evolves. This includes the publication processes and how young researchers can be more visible and play a role in the science-policy arena etc.

Some other research projects I'm involved in:

• sMon (one of four PI's; strategic project of iDiv) - unique project on biodiversity trends in Germany, bringing together representatives of all! 16 German federal states, relevant agencies, NGO's and taxonomic experts. Huge Fun!!
• GloNAF (Global Naturalized Alien Flora) glonaf.org - one of the most vibrant & coolest research project I'm involved in (one of 8 PIs and founding member)
• sTWIST Global Alien Species Indicators (sDiv synthesis group; one of two PIs, together with the wonderful Melodie McGeoch and a great team!)
• PaDRE "Patterns and drivers of regional plant extinctions", with my dear colleague Sonja Knapp (UFZ) as PI and other wonderful colleagues and Laura Mendez as project postdoc (starting 01/2024)
• How to relate characteristics of research outputs/careers to societal impacts (lead together with CESAB director Nicolas Mouquet, Jean Paul Metzger (Univ Sao Paulo) & other great Brasilian & French & sDiv colleagues)

Some recent past projects:

• iADIDAS (improving Alien species Distribution knowledge by Integrating Data Across Scales) - Cadu Arle was the wonderful PhD student in this project, which I was co-supervising together with the main iDiv supervisor Carsten Meyer
• Naturalization Conundrum rEvisited (DANCE) – Darwin meets omics (PI: Sylvia Haider, MLU; Postdoc Andrea Galman, I'm a Co-PI)

My particular research interests in the last years were:

• Macroecology, macroevolution, biogeography, invasion biology, niche dynamics, biodiversity pattern
• Effects of global change on taxonomical, evolutionary and functional compositions of communities and its implications for ecosystem functioning
• Integration of evolutionary information diversity into nature conservation
• Observed effects of climate change
• Metrics of measuring bidoiversity, in particular phylogenetic diversity
• Biodiversity (change) assessments in finance and economic sector
• Biodiversity monitoring
• Ecology and distribution of the North American Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
• Alien microbes, particular in soils

I like to inform the public about the important questions and answers, we work on and love to tell stories how relevant (and often worrysome) our daily life for biodiversity on our planet is. For example: ALIENS ARE EVERYWHERE - check my TEDx talk about it: tiny.cc/aliens
