Prof. Cleo Bertelsmeier

I am Associate Professor and group leader at the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

My research focuses on invasions by species introduced outside their native area. These invasive species represent one of the biggest threats to biodiversity and have a huge cost for society. My research currently involves two main themes 1. the spread of invasive insects in connection with the history of the globalization of trade and human mobility and 2. the establishment of invasive species in new climates “
