I am a PhD student with a background in biomathematics, exploring ecology from a mathematical, theoretical perspective. In my current research project, I study species coexistence through trade-offs between consumers, specifically trade-offs in their resource-dependent growth rates (also known as the gleaner–opportunist trade-off). As part of this project, I first investigated how different functional response types affect species coexistence (Kiss & Klauschies, accepted) and will further explore the roles of predation and spatial dynamics in coexistence.
