个人简介
I am a conservation ecologist with expertise on the ecology and conservation of terrestrial invertebrate communities, including butterflies and Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, katydids). During my Ph.D. research at the University of Ioannina (Greece), I explored butterflies’ and orthopterans’ species responses to climate change and identified measures needed to conserve species populations within and outside of protected areas. I also examined the effects of habitat-specific variables and especially of altitude and canopy cover, used as proxies of possible climate (via space-for-time substitution) and land use change (agriculture abandonment and forest encroachment). During my first postdoctoral position in Temple University (USA), I focused primarily on statistical analysis of data that have been systematically collected from 1998 on regal fritillary (Speyeria idalia idalia), an extremely rare butterfly species, for which the only viable remaining eastern population occurs at Fort Indiantown Gap National Guard Training Center in central Pennsylvania. With additional data on the whole butterfly species pool I am trying to better interpret ecological and behavioral patterns of the butterfly community, to clarify long-term population trajectories and spatial distributions and to evaluate the effects of wildfire and prescribed fire on grassland butterflies and their host plants. In my current position at the University of Bern (Switzerland), I will be conducting behavioral experiments with butterflies (Erebia spp., Araschnia levana). Under the lead of Dr. Andrea Grill we will try to answer if there is some evidence on whether age difference between male and females butterflies is essential for mate choice. Other research questions will focus on the effect of paved roads to butterfly movement and the permeability of landscapes when species move to higher altitudes as a response to global warming.
