Description
Wild fauna and flora are facing variable and challenging environmental disturbances. One of the animal groups that is most impacted by these disturbances are pollinators. Pollinators face multiple threats, but the spread of anthropogenic chemicals (i.e. pesticides) form a major potential driver of these threats. WilPosh is a multi-actor, transdisciplinary project whose overarching mission and ambition are to significantly improve the evaluation of the risk to wild pollinators of pesticide exposure, and enhance the sustainable health of pollinators and pollination services in Europe.

Scientist / Postdoctoral Researcher
I am an ecologist looking at patterns of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services at different spatial and temporal scales. As a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Community Ecology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), I investigate how pollinators and the services they provide are influenced by landscape and land-use intensity. My main research interests focus on landscape ecology, macroecology, agro-ecology, pollination services and biological control.
