Research
Global changes are increasingly altering the spatial and temporal distribution of species. Our lab seeks to understand the factors driving these shifts to more effectively manage and preserve biodiversity amidst these changes.
Life history traits, such as body size, growth rate, and fecundity, can shift significantly in response to environmental conditions. Our lab investigates how multiple stressors—both abiotic and biotic—interact to shape these traits, providing insight into species’ adaptability to changing environments.
Effective conservation requires detailed knowledge of species’ habitat needs and life history. Our lab prioritizes research on the ecology, behavior, and biology of threatened species, aiming to inform conservation strategies and guide decision-makers in implementing protective measures.
Accurate ecological data depends on robust methods, each with unique strengths and limitations. Our lab is dedicated to refining and innovating techniques for estimating geographic ranges, demographic parameters, and habitat preferences, enhancing the reliability of ecological assessments.
Waste management is one of the most important problems nowadays. Insects can be used to address this issue by playing a crucial role in breaking down organic waste and facilitating its decomposition. Certain insect species, such as black soldier flies, have been shown to effectively consume organic waste, converting it into valuable by-products like compost, biofuels, and protein-rich larvae that can be used as animal feed. Our lab investigates insect-based waste management to promote sustainable waste recycling solutions.
