Georgios Nakas is a PhD student at the University of the Aegean investigating the post fire succession of plant–pollinator interactions in Mediterranean ecosystems. He studied biology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki where he focused on ecology. His MSc in Marine and Lacustrine Sciences at Ghent University gave him the opportunity to gain a better perspective on biodiversity, taxonomy and ecology. Since then he has worked in several projects (e.g. POL-AEGIS) doing field work, lab work and taxonomy in several taxa. His current research focus is in pollination ecology. He has already published some of his work on how disturbance (e.g. grazing) can affect plant–pollinator systems.
