Field of research

Research in the field of carcass ecology sparked my interest in the ecological processes involving large herbivores. The remarkable range of ways in which these animals shape our ecosystems captivate my attention. Especially aspects of vegetation dynamics, arthropod diversity, and ungulate movements fascinate me. My primary goal is to enhance our understanding of these processes, uncover new insights, and ultimately, safeguard and restore our ecosystems through my research.
