Dr. Andreas Wilting

Setting conservation priorities in the Annamite mountains of Laos and Vietnam

Mammalian biodiversity in logged tropical rainforest in Malaysian Borneo

Theory and methods in ecology and evolution

• Mammalian community ecology and biodiversity research
• understanding drivers (mainly habitat degradation and illegal hunting) of defaunation
• camera-trapping and environmental / invertebrate-derived DNA
• species distribution modelling
