Profile
I am an ecologist, interested in quantitatively assessing environmental change impacts on local and global biodiversity and identifying the underlying individual- and community-level mechanistic processes (movement, traits, demography, interactions) to develop predictive models and derive policies for sustainable life on earth. I hold a Chair in Ecology and Biodiversity, am co-Director of the Centre for Biomathematics at Swansea University, and am the Chair/Secretary of the Movement Ecology Special Interest Group of the British Ecological Society. Before doing science I worked as professional free-lance musician (french horn – classical music and some jazz).
You might find my name written also as ‘Luca Börger’ or ‘Luca Boerger’ – it’s always me.
