معرفی
PD Dr. Beatrice Senn is a Visiting Researcher at the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL (Birmensdorf), specializing in Biodiversity and Conservation Biology. Her work focuses on fungal ecology, mycological conservation, and the impacts of climate change on alpine ecosystems. She collaborates extensively on projects involving DNA barcoding, citizen science data analysis, and the documentation of rare fungal species in Switzerland. Key contributions include studies on ectomycorrhizal communities, treeline dynamics, and the effects of habitat specialization on fungal distribution.
Research Interests:
- Biodiversity assessment and conservation of macrofungi
- Climate change impacts on alpine mycobiota
- Ectomycorrhizal networks and plant-fungal symbiosis
- Application of citizen science in biodiversity monitoring
Publications Trends: Her articles emphasize fungal biodiversity patterns, climate-driven shifts in fungal distributions, and the integration of molecular techniques (e.g., DNA barcoding) in taxonomic studies. Recent work highlights the vulnerability of alpine mycorrhizal communities to climatic shifts and the need for targeted conservation strategies in riparian and glacier forefield ecosystems.
Awards: None explicitly listed.
Grants/Advising: Collaborates on WSL-funded projects; no formal student advising listed.
Labs/Teams: Active within WSL's biodiversity and mycology research groups, contributing to initiatives like the Ascomyceten der Schweiz documentation project.
