Claus Rüffler (PI)
My name is properly spelled with the German letter “ü”. However, in my scientific publications I use the letter combination “ue” instead.

Mattias Finndin (master’s student)
Mattias is interested communities of arctic wader birds and will collect and analyses field observations to understand the role of palsa mires for wader communities.
Olle Wickman (master’s student)
Olle is interested in the role of behavioral habitat choice for species coexistence. He will investigate this question with a combination of analytical and simulation approaches.

Mattias Siljestam (PhD student, defended 2024)
Mattias mainly worked on models investigating the emergence of polymorphism at diploid loci, using Adaptive dynamics in allele space. In his models, polymorphism can often be understood as division of labor between two different alleles at the same locus.
Izabel Eriksson Reuterborg (master’s student, 2023-24)
In her master’s thesis, Izabel investigated by means of individual-based computer simulations how complex life cycles affect community assembly.
Marco Saltini (posdoc, 2020-22)
Marco joined us as a Thunberg Fellow at the Swedish Collegium of Advanced Study (SCAS). He investigated how complex life cycles and ontogentic niche shifts affect adaptive radiations and community assembly. He continued as a postdoc at Wageningen University.
Paula Vasconcelos (PhD student, defended 2022)
Paula joined us all the way from Brazil for her PhD on evolutionary dynamics in multi-dimensional trait spaces. She successfully defended her PhD-thesis in September 2022 and then started working as a data scientist.
Iris van Engen (bachelor student, 2022)
Iris was an exchange student visiting us from the University of Lausanne. During her research training she investigated how trophic cascades due to the presence of a top-predator affect diversification and coexistence of consumers at an intermediate trophic level. She continued with a master’s in Environment Biology at University of Utrecht.
Alexandros Bantounas (master’s student, 2020-21)
In his master’s thesis, Alexandros investigated how reproductive interference can affect the distribution of different hosts in a spatially structured plant-host-parasitoid system. He continued as a PhD student in the evolutionary ecology group at the University of Antwerp.
Gil Henriques (master’s student, 2015)
Gil’s master’s thesis in 2015 was jointly supervised by Simone Immler and Claus.
