I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in the structure of plant populations and their changes due to ecological and evolutionary processes. My studies apply and combine macro-ecological techniques and cytological (e.g. flow cytometry) or molecular (e.g. AFLP, cp-DNA) methods.

Specifically, my research focuses on biogeographic and phylogenetic aspects of weeds and plant invaders. By studying different aspects of the population biology of Veratrum album, a tall lily toxic to livestock, I aim at understanding the weed problem in mountain pastures and meadows, grasslands that are species-rich but threatened in abundance and diversity through changing farming activities. With Centaurea maculosa I am investigating factors leading to the invasion success of this species in North America introduced from its native range in Europe.
