Summary: The loss of insect pollinators has become a severe problem. The EU-funded Happybee project analyses the relationship of pollinating insects to small-scale and large-scale agriculture, proximity to forests and crop type, and reviews the frequency […]

Summary: Biological invasions are among the most significant challenges facing humanity today. Due to the proliferation of long-distance travel and the destruction of habitats, species originally introduced from remote areas are increasingly settling worldwide in habitats […]

Summary: Recent research suggests that ectothermic organisms with an omnivorous diet adapt by changing their food preference to accommodate their metabolic processes, which vary with the increasing temperature. Our research aims to understand how this change […]

Invasion of alien species is one of the major drivers responsible for biodiversity decline and the resulting impacts on human economy and well-being. Certain plant traits, high propagule pressure and priority are possible explanations for the […]

Our research group aims to find solutions for the long-term maintenance of the biodiversity and functioning of grassland ecosystems by learning about the role of seeds in ecosystems. Grasslands are particularly species-rich and diverse communities that […]

One of the leading causes of biodiversity loss is land-use change, associated with habitat loss and degradation. Sustainable development requires a nature conservation strategy that takes into account the landscape as a whole. It is essential […]
