Biography

Romana Limberger is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich. Her research interests focus on the mechanisms that maintain biodiversity in changing environments, utilizing aquatic protists as model organisms. She investigates the evolution of dispersal and rescue strategies to prevent species extinction in fluctuating ecosystems. Her ongoing research explores the effects of environmental change on biodiversity and its influence on the predictability of ecological dynamics. Limberger completed her Ph.D. in Ecology at the University of Salzburg, where she studied the role of metacommunity dynamics in structuring diversity. Throughout her career, she has held postdoctoral positions at several prestigious institutions, including McGill University and the University of Innsbruck, where she contributed to research on limnology and ecological interactions.
