Chair of Animal Ecology I


Adaptation of organisms to changing environmental conditions. Specifically, we are interested in:

Specifically, we are interested in:

  • Phenotypic plasticity (inducible defenses)
    From the molecular to the ecosystem level
  • Multiple Stressor Ecology
    Interplay between biotic and abiotic stressors
  • Aquatic Ecology
    Lakes, running waters, coral reefs
  • Microplastics in aquatic ecosystems
    Sources, sink, fate and effects
  • Bioregenerative life support systems
    From the evolution of gravi-sensing systems to life support systems
