MSc thesis opportunity: Impacts of chemical stressors on the enzyme activity in microbes
We offer a Master thesis on effects of different chemical stressors on the activity of biopolymer-cleaving enzymes in leaf-associated microbial biofilms.
Bachelor thesis or RPC opportunity: Do fungicides negatively affect the crayfish plague?
We are offering a Bachelor thesis or research project course (RPC) to investigate fungicide effects on different life stages of the crayfish plague Aphanomyces astaci.
Surprisingly, systemic fungicide treatment enhances litter quality for aquatic detritivores
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “The evil within? Systemic fungicide application in trees enhances litter quality for an aquatic decomposer-detritivore system”.
Master thesis opportunity on fungicide effects on leaf decomposition
Is the effect of fungicides on leaf decomposition dependent on substrate properties? Uncover relevant processes and mechanisms in a master thesis with us.
Bachelor/Master thesis opportunity in Invertebrate Ecotoxicology
Are sublethal responses of individual shredding invertebrates indicative for changes in ecosystem function? Investigate this question in a bachelor or master thesis using “in situ” bioassays in streams within the vicinity of Landau.
Projects & theses on effects of fungicide contamination
With great wine comes great responsibility! Therefore, the working group “Quantitative Landscape Ecology” offers several projects/theses in a DFG-funded field study analysing effects of fungicide contamination on fungal communities and microbial leaf decomposition.
Sessions (co-)organised by Landau researchers at SETAC AM in Rome
In this post, we would like to draw your attention to six sessions that we are (co-)organising for the upcoming SETAC Europe 28th Annual Meeting in Rome from 13-17 May 2018.
Exposure history-dependent effects on ecosystem functioning in streams
In this post, Alexander Feckler talks about their recently published paper “History matters: heterotrophic microbial community structure and function adapt to multiple stressors”.
