Johanna Berger

Johanna Berger is a Researcher at the Department of Biology, Technische Universität Darmstadt, specializing in ecological networks, entomology, and biodiversity conservation. Her work bridges ecological science with interdisciplinary approaches to address insect declines and promote conservation through projects like BioDivKultur and the Insect Calculator.

Education:

• M.Sc. in Biodiversity and Conservation at Philipps-Universität Marburg (2018-2021)
• B.Sc. in Conservation Biology and Philosophy at Universität Koblenz-Landau (2014-2018)

Research Focus: Johanna investigates how human activity impacts arthropod communities, particularly in grasslands and urban ecosystems. Her projects explore mowing effects, urbanization, and transdisciplinary conservation strategies to enhance biodiversity appreciation.

Selected Publications: Recent work includes studies on isotope geolocation in migratory insects, urban biodiversity refuges, and grassland management frameworks. Her articles emphasize ecological networks, conservation practices, and urban-rural biodiversity gradients.
