Research

I study the response of freshwater biodiversity to various human disturbances. I am particularly interested in the effects of land use and in the causes and consequences of biodiversity change in lakes and rivers with intensive agriculture in their watershed. I am also interested in understanding whether rapid evolution can, to some extent, help with population persistence and the maintenance of biodiversity in degraded environments.
