Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests include various aspects of community ecology, with understanding of the structure and functioning of ecological communities. I am broadly interested in identifying the key processes that determine species interactions from a network approach and the functional role that interacting species play in the whole ecosystem. My current main theme of research focus on plant–pollinator interactions, patterns of biodiversity and the anthropogenic factors that affect them.
