Research theme Plant Allocation
Intern. Max Planck Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles (IMPRS-gBGC)
Main Focus
I am a PhD student in the 'Plant Allocation' group of Henrik Hartmann. My research interests focus on the causes for host selection of the European spruce bark beetle Ips typographus. I am looking into the volatile emissions of Spruce bark and the effect of weather events (windthrow, drought) on these emission profiles. I investigate which compounds might act as cues for the bark beetle to distinguish between healthy and weakened tress.
PhD thesis
Topic: VOC emission as cues for pioneer bark beetle host selection
