Profile

Field of work

My scientific interests comprise the taxonomy, faunistics, diversity, aut- / synecology and conservation of amphibians and reptiles. My field experiences comprise collection trips within Europe as well as to Brazil, Gabon, Tanzania and Zambia. Next to more traditional collection based methods (systematics, morphology / anatomy, bioacoustics, phylogenetics, empirical field studies and experiments), I combine genetics and natural history information with recently developed macroecological approaches (species distribution modelling, environmental niche modelling) as well as phylogenetic comparative methods. These techniques allow me to analyse the structure and evolution of species’ environmental niches through space and time in a phylogenetic and biogeographic context, assessments of species’ likely responses to anthropogenic climate change as well as impacts of habitat fragmentation on the genetic architecture of populations.

Evolution of adhesive toepads in geckos

Effective locomotion is critical for animal survival and has driven the evolution of specialized morphological structures. The evolution of morphological novelties likely leads to key innovations facilitating adaptive radiations. But to fully understand the evolution of complex morphological structures, it is important to study intermediate forms in morphological series, e.g. species having evolved some, but not all traits forming the complex structure in question. The adhesive toepads of geckos (and other lizards), which have attracted much research interest from biologists and engineers alike, are complex morphological structures, consisting of multiple, laterally expanded scales, supported by specialised muscles and tendons, and covered with adhesive microstructures (setae). These facilitate the use of complex three-dimensional microhabitats through friction and adhesion. But toepad evolution is poorly understood, partially due to the scarcity of studies on morphologically intermediate forms.

The impact of mutualistic and parasitic life histories on butterfly diversification in an increasingly arid world

Understanding the mechanisms leading to diversification of species across time in a changing world remains a challenge. Africa was largely covered by forests until the middle Oligocene, when geological and climatic changes led to increasing aridification of the landmass. The current, iconic savanna and grassland ecosystems did not become well-established until around 8 million years ago. The effect of this increasing aridification on diversification has not been well-studied in animals, and especially not in insects.

Effect of habitat fragmentation on reptiles in South East Asia

Fragmentation of the natural environment has contributed to major biodiversity loss in South East Asia. Reptiles represent a significant biomass and occupy important functions in our ecosystem. However, these organisms are highly sensitive to relatively minor changes in temperature and habitat alteration. In this study we will investigate the effects of habitat fragmentation and potentially climate change on agamids at several sites in Southeast Asia. We will identify the species richness of agamids, their habitat use, and their diet.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Assess Habitat Preferences and Home Range Densities in Sand Lizards

Establishing an extensive ecological profile of a population is of outmost importance in conservation efforts and landscape management. The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis LINNAEUS, 1758) is a widely spread Eurasian species that prefers open to half-open habitats. This includes areas in close proximity to humans like road and railroad edges or quarries. Therefore, the species is often victim of disturbances, destruction or fragmentation of its habitat and therefore subject to a lot of compensative measures.

Gecko feet and plant surface microstructures

Animal locomotion is replete with examples of elaborate behavioral and morphological novelties that enhance performance. The adhesive apparatus of geckos is one such innovation, permitting locomotion in challenging micro-environments, such as on vertical or inverted smooth surfaces including smooth leaves, bamboo, and banana. This remarkable system generally involves a complex hierarchy of components: setae (microscopic beta-keratin hair-like structures), scansors (expanded digital scales), and modified skeletal elements, muscles and tendons of the foot and other parts of the limb.

Population assessment of the Turquoise Dwarf Gecko

The turquoise dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus williamsi) is endemic to two small forests in eastern Tanzania, where it exclusively dwells on screwpines (Pandanus rabaiensis). To assess its population status, we surveyed its habitats at the Kimboza Forest Reserve and estimated the population size of the territorial gecko based on habitat availability, using Pandanus abundance as a proxy. Furthermore, threats to the species, especially the impact of the international pet trade on the population, were studied. Our results suggest a severe population decline.

External projects

INVAXEN: in early 2014 an EU-funded project on the INVAsion ecology of XENopus laevis was approved (running till 2016). Together with a research team from Belgium (Prof. Dr. T. Backeljau), France (Dr. A. Herrel), Portugal (Prof. Dr. R. Rebelo) and South Africa (Dr. J. Measey) specific work packages will analyse biogeographic, population genetic, physiological and ecological aspects of the invasion biology of the species in Europe and South Africa (the part of the project in South Africa is funded by the National Research Foundation, SA). One goal is to develop a predictive fundamental niche model to estimate future range expansions under anthropogenic climate change in Europe, including dispersal and gene flow models. Other work packages will contribute genomic and population genetic data, habitat use and dispersal information and assessments on the impact of the species on native invertebrate communities. One PhD student and one master student have just started with their theses.

Further projects deal with the herpetodiversity of Southeast Asia, with special focus on Cambodia and Vietnam, and South America (Brazil, Peru). These projects involve extensive field work including collection of voucher specimens for taxonomy, tissue samples and ecological data (bioacoustics, activity and habitat use patterns). Field work is predominately conducted by PhD and master students.

Example from Southeast Asia: A PhD student is studying the diversity, ecology and distribution of poorly known chelonians in this area. Next to morphological and phylogenetic analyses based on museum specimens she is also going to collect fresh material in the field (Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam). Due to her excellent skills she was already in the first year as PhD student nominated for the IUCN SSC for Chelonians. In this project running until the end of 2015 we are collaborating with PD Dr. T. Ziegler and Dr. T. Q. Nguyen.

A line of research which is unique among European research museums is the study of the evolution of environmental niches from the macroscale (spatial explicit models of phylogeographic patterns) to the microscale (spatial prediction of population genetic structure). These studies are based on the integration of environmental data (climate, vegetation, remote sensing variables) and specimen based data (morphology, genetics, occurrence records) in geostatistical models. Physiological data as compiled in the amphibian keeping facility of ZFMK is incorporated.

Example from Europe on habitat fragmentation: in early 2013 J. O. Engler started with his PhD project funded by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU). Within this project he is going to develop spatial explicit tools to study the impact of habitat fragmentation on the population genetic structure of species, including modules accounting for dispersal and landscape resistance. These tools can be used to estimate the impact of land use transformation and climate change on biodiversity, and a first case study on Lacerta agilis populations within Cologne is already used by federal agencies for landscape planning. This project is funded until the end of 2015 and developed in cooperation with the Environmental Agency of Cologne, Prof. Dr. N. Balkenhol, Prof. Dr. S. Steinfartz and PD Dr. J.C. Habel.

Examples on pyhlogeography, biogeography and the evolution of environmental niches: several PhD, master and bachelor students are working on topics related to the evolution of environmental tolerances, niche conservatism and divergence, causal links between distribution patterns and environmental variables and the translation of physiological limits into geographic ranges. These studies combine specimen based data (morphology, population genetics, phylogeographic information) with spatial explicit environmental variables (climate models for current, past and future conditions, remote sensing data, etc.)). The amphibian breeding station at ZFMK offers the unique opportunity to collect data on the effect of environmental conditions on developmental rates of tadpoles.

Further projects comprise the reconstruction of evolutionary history of selected amphibians and reptiles in the Mediterranean basin. By combining projections of morphometric data into geographic space, population genetic data and phylogeographic data with spatial explicit SDMs we infer likely biogeographic scenarios and patterns of niche evolution. These multidisciplinary approaches allow us to detect cryptic taxa, the geographic position of (sub-)species borders, and likely glacial refugia of the genera Darevskia, Lacerta, Timon, Tarentola, and Neurergus. So far, this line of research has resulted in the formal description of four new species of Darevskia, the detection of three new species of Tarentola and one new subspecies of Lacerta by means of integrative taxonomy.
