Joachim Ziegler

Dr. Joachim Ziegler is a researcher at the Museum of Natural History, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Research in Berlin. His work focuses on the taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography of Diptera (Insecta), particularly in alpine and endemic regions such as the Stilfserjoch National Park (Italy) and Iran. He specializes in the Tachinidae and Rhinophoridae families, contributing to the understanding of biodiversity in changing landscapes.

• Key Research Areas: Taxonomy, Phylogeny, Biodiversity, Biogeography, Insect Systematics, Alpine Ecology

Selected Publications highlight his expertise in molecular and morphometric taxonomy, species discovery in Greece, and comprehensive surveys of dipteran biodiversity in alpine ecosystems. His editorial contributions to Diptera Stelviana underscore his role in advancing dipterological research.
