Currently I am investigating undersown flowering legumes for multifunctional Swedish cereal production together with Ola Lundin, Göran Bergkvist, Maria Viketoft and Hanna Friberg.
In my PhD thesis work at Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter's lab in Würzburg (Germany), I investigated the suitability of sown flowering fields of different temporal continuity for biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes and their effects on ecosystem service provision in adjacent crop fields (with a focus on natural pest control).
I am mainly interested in natural pest control and its drivers. So far, I especially focussed on spillover of natural enemies and within field distance functions of natural pest control.
Apart from my (agro-)ecological work, I work on the taxonomy of tiger beetles (Cicindelidae).
