Biodiversity

In truth, biodiversity is not really a single research topic, but rather an overarching theme guiding a large part of my research. In this theme, we develop models and data analysis tools to study patterns biodiversity in various systems.

Current research topics are:

• Resource competition

• Networks on Networks: The interplay of structure and dynamics in spatial ecological network. This is funded as subproject 1 in DFG Research Unit 1748.

• Cell shapes of marine plankton

• Indices of biodiversity

• Optimal control of spatial ecosystems
