Research

~~Biotic interactions~~

We study different types of species interaction networks. How specialised are these associations, and why do species differ in their interactions?

~~Biodiversity research~~

Biodiversity and species composition is strongly changed by human land use. How do these impacts translate into the representation of functional traits in communities?

~~Chemical ecology~~

We study the chemical composition and function of defensive compounds, signals and nutrients.

~~Applied entomology~~

Our projects aim at providing information for sustainable crop plant protection by plant- and environment-related pest management.

~~Functional morphology~~

Morphological traits of arthropods can mirror important ecological functions. We study trait variation across taxa and within each species.
