Nominator's project description
| Professor Leibold is an international authority in community ecology. He has published foundational studies from niche to ecosystem. But his influence goes much farther – he makes people around him better scientists. In Germany, he will finish his book on metacommunities and then he will push the frontier of the field incorporating modelling, large trait databases and co-occurrences. |
