Visitors in the macroecology workgroup

Over the summer we had many students visiting our workgroup to collaborate with our researchers and do some fieldwork. From April to August PhD students Maribel Vasquez (from Chile) and Roy Gonzáles (from Colombia) were visiting Carlos and worked on different functional diversity topics. In July and August, PhD student Zoe Xirocostas from Australia was collaborating with Meelis and Riin for her exciting PhD project, where she studies whether invasive plant species in Australia have different herbivores and pollinators than in their native habitats in Europe. From July to September, Bachelor student Giulia Guizzo from Italy is doing an Erasmus traineeship in our workgroup and is gaining useful experience in different field and lab work methods.
