Introduction
I studied Biology (B.Sc) at Osnabrueck University and Organismical, Evolutionary and Paleobiology (OEP; M.Sc.) at Bonn University.
I finished my PhD in the GBOL (German Barcoding of life)-project on a cooperation between the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) and the Bonn University about DNA-Barocoding Pollination in agriculture and worked in the project DüNaMed at the University of Bonn studying the effect of different fertilizer treatments on soil arthropods.

In recent years, DNA metabarcoding has been used for a more efficient assessment of bulk samples. However, there remains a paucity of studies examining potential disparities in species identification methodologies. Here, we explore the outcomes of diverse clustering and filtering techniques on data from a non‐destructive metabarcoding approach, com...
Caraway (Carum carvi L.) is a crop species with a gaining importance in Europe, especially as a condiment and medicinal plant. Here, we present the plant-pollinator network of caraway in a central European agricultural landscape, focusing on two diverse potential pollinator taxa, Diptera: Brachycera (= true flies) and Hymenoptera (sawflies, bees, w...

Ground beetles are important bioindicators in agricultural landscapes. In the project Dü-NaMed, the effect of different organic fertilizers (cattle manure and slurry, straw, biogas digestate, compost) and a mineral fertilizer on soil arthropods including ground beetles was tested in field trials on two sites. Pitfall trap samples were taken over tw...
Los insectos son el grupo de animales más diverso del mundo y son capaces de proporcionar diferentes servicios ecosistémicos, entre ellos la polinización. Durante este proceso, los insectos suelen visitar las flores en busca de alimento (polen y néctar) o alguna otra recompensa (generalmente aceites y esencias) y terminan transportando el polen de...
Background
Trichoptera are one of the most diverse groups of freshwater insects worldwide and one of the main bioindicators for freshwater quality. However, in many areas, caddisflies remain understudied due to lack of taxonomic expertise. Meanwhile, globally increasing anthropogenic stress on freshwater streams also threatens Trichoptera diversity...
We record Aristosyrphus carpenteri (Hull, 1945) for the first time from South America. This species was previously known from Panama and Costa Rica. New specimens, collected in Pichincha Province of Ecuador, represent the first reported occurrence of this flower fly genus from the country. Images, diagnosis, and DNA barcodes are provided to help wi...
In the face of global pollinator decline, extensively managed grasslands play an important role in supporting stable pollinator communities. However, different types of extensive management may promote particular plant species and thus particular functional traits. As the functional traits of flowering plant species (e.g., flower size and shape) in...
Insect pollination is one of the most important ecosystem services provided to humans. Over 75% of crops and 87,5% of wild plants are directly dependend from this type of pollination. The two biggest insect pollination groups in German agroecosystems are the Brachycera ("true flies") and Hymenoptera. However, a decline trend in agricultural biodive...
