Plant population genetics
Using population and landscape genomic molecular approaches (ddRADseq, MIGseq, targeted sequencing) we study the genetic variation of protected but also invasive plant species ...

Population ecology of rare and endangered plant species
Using field observations and ex-situ expriments, we study the ecology and interactions of rare plant species from their seeds, to seedlings and adult individuals, all the way to whole populations and communities ...

Vegetation and experimental ecology
We study the community composition through time to investigate potential effects of various (anthropogenically driven) factors. Furthermore, we add population ecological and plant functional trait measurements on single or multiple plant species ...

Phenology of (herbaceous) plants and plant-pollinator interactions
We also investigate the different growth stages (phenology) of herbaceous species and study plant-pollinator interactions in the field ...

Germination and seedling ecology
To study one of the most important life stages of a plant, we do ex-situ experiments during germination and seedling establishment of various plant species ...

Regeneration of (sub-) tropical mountain forests
We study regeneration of (sub-) tropical montane forest, which is less studied than regeneration of lowland forests, in multiple projects in the South American Andes (mostly Bolivia and Argentina) ...
