Theses on the relevance of biodiversity to function relationships in heterotrophic aquatic systems under stress
Interested in the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions under stress and looking for an internship, research project, BSc or MSc thesis? Join us!
Continue readingAre stress responses similar across different regions?
In this post, Verena Schreiner talks about a recently published paper entitled “Similar recovery time of microbial functions from fungicide stress across biogeographical regions”.
PhD opportunity in Functional Aquatic Ecotoxicology
Our working group Functional Aquatic Ecotoxicology is looking for a PhD student to work on the DFG-funded project “The relevance of the BIOdiversity TO FUNction relationship in heterotrophic aquatic systems under stress (BIO2FUN)”.
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.
