Research Projects

A project for the development of a quagga mussel monitoring concept mussel monitoring concept and the support of preventative and protective measures in Switzerland.
Functional characterization of isopod-microbe symbiosis
The architecture of community structure, functional traits and trophic networks across blue-green ecosystems
New tools to monitor changes in ecosystem conditions and to quantify genetic changes of populations in (semi-)natural environments to predict how human mediated environmental change will influence stability and resilience of ecosystems.
