I am interested in better understanding past, current, and future patterns of biodiversity, as well as the drivers and processes leading to such patterns. Although I feel passionate about all aspects of biodiversity (different spatial scales, taxonomical groups, and/or time periods), I focus in plant diversity patterns during the past and it’s changes during long term periods of environmental and ecological change and both local and continental scales.
