Current research interests have a strong emphasis on applied research in conservation biology that simultaneously addresses basic ecological questions mainly in the fields of population ecology, community ecology, and landscape ecology. This includes species-environment relationships at multiple spatial and temporal scales; population and metapopulation persistence and dynamics in human-dominated landscapes; fragmentation effects on biodiversity, particularly in farmland systems under strong agricultural intensification; interspecific interactions and species coexistence across space and time; community ecology; and ecological modelling.
