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.

SO-SCALE aims to achieve a novel integrated, cross-compartmental and cross-scale understanding of the partitioning of incoming precipitation in agricultural systems. 

The nature of interactions between the freshwater mosses, their microbiome, and the associated toxic cyanobacteria

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

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.

Effects of measures targeting reduction of nutrient intakes and changes in fish communities on re-establishment of charophyte meadows are tested over multiple years.

Shrimp farming rapidly expanded over the last two decades, but animal welfare has largely been overlooked. Only recently, welfare considerations paved the route for stricter regulations on animal welfare in decapod crustaceans.
