I am a PhD candidate with a broad interest in biodiversity monitoring and plant–pollinator interactions. My research focuses on how eDNA metabarcoding can be used to study flower-visiting insects and plant–pollinator interactions. By comparing molecular approaches with visual observations and conventional monitoring, I investigate what additional information eDNA can provide for understanding and monitoring insect communities.
