The main focus is in freshwater Ecology. I am interested in describing and understanding patterns of biodiversity on the species as well as on the functional level, with dragonflies as main study organisms. Current research topics are:

• Life cycle diversity and ecology

• Aquatic ecology in urban and arid landscapes

• Ecology, taxonomy, distribution and conservation of dragonflies
