Domiziana joined the group as phd student and she is part of the RTG R3. Phuong-Anh is also part of the RTG and will work with us and the Ecology lab. Pia joined the lab as technical assistant.

Der Limnologe Lutz Becks von der Universität Konstanz erhält Förderung von der Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation für ein Forschungsprojekt, das neue Erkenntnisse dazu liefern wird, warum und auf welche Weise sich Individuen zweier Arten zu einer einzigen Lebensform entwickeln.

The feedback between selection and demography shapes genomic diversity during coevolution

Tom will work on indirect evolutionary facilitation and the role of trait diversity within populations for population dynamics.

Evolution matters for ecology! Check out our new paper and the feature in PNAS Frontmatters.

This review is part of a special issue on “Viruses of Microbes V: Biodiversity and Future Applications”.

The paper reviews and synthesizes evidence from the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology and population genetics to investigate how the presence of abiotic stress can affect the feedback between ecological and evolutionary dynamics.

Kai joined us to work on algae-virus coevolution and eco-evolutionary dynamics.

New paper out on eco-evo dynamics in predator-prey systems and the role of abiotic stressors. We used experimental evolution, classical ecological theory for predator-prey dynamics and temporally resolved whole genome sequence information to test how low concentrations of antibiotics affect the ecology, evolution and the feedback between ecology and evolution. To see what we found, check out the paper in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
