For my master thesis in Ecology and Biodiversity, I investigate how local and spatial factors influence insect and pathogen communities on urban trees, and if observed effects can be generalized among tree species. Specifically, I work with four urban tree species (Quercus robur, Sorbus aucuparia, Acer platanoides, and Tilia sp.) and their associated leaf miners, gallers, and fungal pathogens.
