Projects

This research project is shaping the foundation for Germany’s first nationwide regulation to reduce light pollution.

Neurotoxic cyanobacteria in association with aquatic plants pose a real health threat, which could even further increase in the future.

In this scientific network, we are investigating social-ecological networks in urban areas in an international and interdisciplinary team over a period of three years.

In this DFG-funded project, we will develop experiments and theoretical models testing whether explicitly accounting for interactions between key evolutionary and community processes results in a better understanding of species and community responses to environmental change.

This project aims at studying the link between sex determination systems and initiation and maintenance of asexuality through a comparative analysis of gametogenesis and early embryogenesis, underlying the mechanistic basis of altered gametogenic pathways of "asexual" reproduction.

Aquatic fungal biodiversity

Multidisciplinary studies on the conditions leading to the mass development of toxic algae in the Odra river and on the occurred population losses of aquatic organisms and their regeneration, as well as on the strengthening of resilience, ecosystem services and development scenarios for the coupled river-floodplain ecosystem.

The AquaINFRA project will develop a virtual research environment that will allow seamless data discovery and processing through a single interface to promote Open Science.
