Projects

Inner-city ponds provide essential functions for urban areas, but their stability is threatened by many stressors such as anthropogenic pollution. The project leaders aim to investigate whether pond ecosystems become more resilient through evolutionary or microbiome-mediated adaptation of water fleas (Daphnia) to urban pollution.

The goal of the PREDATOR project is to understand the impact of recreational fishing pressure on the behavior of natural fish populations.

A central task of all mobile animals is to locate hidden resources in a potentially complex environment. 

This project aims to understand how climate variability and land cover changes affect ecohydrological water partitioning across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC).

Sinks, links and legacies of novel ecosystems in rewetted fen landscapes.
