Aquatic ecology and Nature conservation

Our research is focused on two thematic fields: The aquatic research puts a special emphasis on the ecology of invertebrate communities, living in running waters, ditches and temporary systems. In the field of vector ecology, we study mosquitoes, biting midges and blackflies. In both thematic fields we analyze the effects ecological parameter have on the distribution and population dynamics of these invertebrates, and how these species respond to environmental changes.
