My scientific interests comprise the taxonomy, faunistics, diversity, aut- / synecology and
conservation of amphibians, reptiles and birds. I use more traditional methods (i.e. morphology and anatomy), genetics and natural history information and recently developed collection based macroecological approaches (species distribution modeling, environmental niche modeling) to conduct my projects
