Profile

I study the structure, dynamics and conservation potential of wild bee and other pollinator communities in agroecological systems. My research focuses on the relationship between agricultural land use and insect communities, and is closely linked to the RestPoll project, which aims to halt pollinator declines and provide a scientific basis for effective restoration measures.

Previous topics:
Topology and dynamics of biological networks: In the Centre for Ecological Research, We investigated how well simple analyses can identify key species and important direct and indirect interactions.
Ecology and evolution of avian lice: In collaboration with the University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest, we investigated the ecology and evolution of bird lice. We focused on vertical transmission and the evolution of louse body size and sexual size dimorphism.
Conservation biology and ecology of Red-footed Falcons: In collaboration with BirdLife Hungary, we investigated a wide range of topics concerning the ecology and conservation of Red-footed Falcons (Falco vespertinus).
