Welcome to our homepage
We study the processes that promote recovery of damaged ecological communities.
We unravel the causes and consequences of
biodiversity itself and use experiments, field work and ecological
modelling to explain what mechanisms maintain the still brimming
diversity of interacting animals and plants, in both terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems.
We offer bachelor and master projects on
topics that include:
restoration ecology, climate change (heat
waves), extinctions, human-carnivore interactions (wolves,
hyenas).
We teach our research through the course Quantitative Ecology in the Optionalbereich and through 2 S-Modules:
190359 S-Modul: Introduction to Ecological Modelling using Matlab |
190365 S-Modul: Biodiversity Research (Open Project or Interdisciplinary Project) |
