Research Interests: Sonja investigates stochasticity in fungal communities, priority effects in community dynamics, and conservation translocation principles for threatened species. Her work integrates field experiments with DNA-based survey methods to understand ecological processes in wood-inhabiting fungi.
Recent Publications (2025–2018): Key studies include priority effects in fungal assembly, natural vs restored deadwood fungal diversity, and conservation translocation guidelines. Current projects involve ERC-funded research on fungal biodiversity predictability (2024–2028).
Scientific Activities: Active in conferences (Nordic Society OIKOS, DNA Barcoding conferences), editorial work, and international collaborations, including academic visits to Stanford University.
