About Florian: "My work focuses on the relationship between morphology and ecology in arthropods. Currently, I am working on a new way to measure biodiversity and ecosystem functioning using the morphology of freshwater arthropods and eDNA metabarcoding of freshwater environments. In the past I worked on the changes of morphology during evolution and development in crabs and holometabolan insects, integrating extant and fossil material. "
Florian is works with us as a guest postdoc from University of Oulu, where he works in the Biodiversity Genomics group. His stay at EBD is funded by Severo Ochoa Incoming postdocs programm.
