Summary
Melanie Tietje is a quantitative ecologist and postdoctoral researcher based in Prague with nine years of experience studying macroecological and biogeographic patterns across both modern and deep time. Her work spans paleontological and neontological data, combining climatic and biological datasets to probe diversity, geographic range sizes, and drivers of extinction risk in invertebrates and amphibians. She brings a strong quantitative toolset to large-scale ecological questions and an unusual fondness for regex that reflects pragmatic, code-first problem solving. At CZU she continues to integrate paleo- and present-day perspectives to reveal long-term biodiversity dynamics. Her research blends field-savvy taxonomic insight with statistical rigor, making her adept at turning messy historical records into testable macroecological hypotheses.
