Andrea Landeira-Dabarca

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Ecosystem Biology, at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. My PhD focused on fish and aquatic insect behavioural ecology and chemical signaling in prey-predator interactions in streams. I am currently working on the effect of different alterations, such as climate change or introduction of invasive species, on species interactions and ecosystem proceses in freshwater ecosystems.
