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.

Profile at Uppsala University
Mattias is interested in the evolution of population level polymorphism that can be interpreted as division of labor.
Izabel Eriksson Reuterborg (master’s student)
Izabel is interested in exploring community assembly in consumers with complex life cycles.
Alumni
Paula Vasconcelos (PhD student)
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.
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.
Iris van Engen (bachelor student, 2022)
Iris was an exchange student visting 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.
