Kim Holzmann

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Würzburg, at the Department of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology.
I have a broad evolutionary & ecological research interest in the response of organisms to climate change, particularly in the context of thermal tolerances. In my research I aim to understand how the distribution of biodiversity is shaped by natural gradients and environmental changes. I am investigating these topics by focusing on mammals and invertebrates along tropical elevation gradients, and recently, their adaptation to subterranean habitats.
I received my PhD in Tropical Ecology at the University of Würzburg, after completing a mobility masters programme in evolutionary biology in four different countries with a MSc degree from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (Germany) and from Uppsala University (Sweden).
