Doctoral student in Environmental pollutants in wild animals and their food chains
The Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research at the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (Leibniz-IZW) is seeking a doctoral student to engage in the “Beyond Life Apex” project to analyse the exposure of selected top predators to organic and inorganic anthropogenic pollutants recognised as priority, as well as the development of evaluation methods for the prioritisation of chemicals and their mixtures as well as on the interpretation of the exposure data in peak predators in cooperation with the Federal Environment Agency
Continue readingFood web rewiring drives long-term compositional differences and late-stressor interactions at the community level
In this blogpost, Francesco Polazzo talks about how pesticides can cause a drastic change in the organisation and strength of interactions of aquatic food webs. Particularly, after pesticide exposure, changes in the strength of trophic interactions seem to be driving long-lasting effects in community structure. When multiple pesticides act together, they modify both food web structure and interaction’s strength, causing late-stage non-additive effects between stressors.
