Janne Alahuhta (Principal investigator)
Personal webpage, Researchgate, Google Scholar
Janne is a Senior Research at University of Oulu and has been interested in broad scale patterns of aquatic plants for years. He feels that there is a clear shortage of macrophyte studies having a macroecological and biogeographical perspective. Janne is interested in various ecological and biogeographical study questions ranging from global diversity-latitude relationship and metacommunity patterns to niche conservatism and temporal changes in macrophytes.
Jorge García Girón (Co-Principal investigator)
Researchgate, Google Scholar
Jorge holds an assistant professor position in the University of Leon, Spain and is affiliated with the University of Oulu. He is interested in synthesising patterns and mechanisms of freshwater organisms in the context of community biogeography. He also has passion for statistical methods and dinosaurs.
Maija Toivanen (PhD researcher)
Maija is interested to know whether geodiversity can be used as a surrogate for macrophyte diversity in boreal and temperate lakes.
Anton Pajukoski (MSc student)
Anton's thesis deals with mud shores of Bothnian Bay and how they affect biodiversity patterns of macrophytes.
Former members
Xiaoming Jiang (associate professor, visiting scientist)
Xiaoming is visiting our group for a year from Xi'an University of Technology, China. He studies how freshwater organisms respond to different anthropogenic pressures.
Marja Lindholm (PhD)
Marja studied how temporal variation in macrophytes are related to environmental changes in boreal lakes.
Jorge Garcia-Giron (Visiting researcher)
Jorge visited us for six months in late 2019 and we started several studies on macroecology of macrophytes during his visit.
Eulàlia Pladevall (Visiting researcher)
Eulàlia studied what environmental characteristics affected wetland flora of Pyrenees. She stayed with us for three months in spring 2019.
Denner Vieira (Visiting researcher)
Denner visited our group for six months during the fall of 2018. He is specialised in complex network analysis and how they can used in ecological context.
