Cristina Ganuza

Dr. Cristina Ganuza is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology (Zoology III) within the Biocenter of the University of Würzburg. Her work focuses on community ecology and agroecology, particularly examining pollination dynamics, climate change impacts on biodiversity, and land-use effects on ecosystem services.

• MSc: Biology (Conservation and Systems Ecology), Wageningen University
• BSc: Biology, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

Her research investigates functional biodiversity in agricultural and semi-natural landscapes, with a strong emphasis on plant-pollinator interactions, phenology shifts under climate change, and the interplay between habitat fragmentation and trophic networks. She contributes to the LandKlif project analyzing climate change adaptation strategies.

Recent publications highlight her work on insect biomass decline, dung decomposition dynamics, and habitat quality metrics across temperate and tropical ecosystems. Collaboration with senior ecologists like Prof. Steffan-Dewenter and Prof. Tscharntke underscores her interdisciplinary approach.
