## Seiten

- [Home](https://www.ecolevol.de/) - Extracting information from the past we address some current questions in animal and environmental ecology. Some of our model system research also provides new entries to cancer and applied medical research.
- [Moritz Jonathan Schmidt](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/moritz-jonathan-schmidt/) - Research I'm particularly interested in placozoan genetics and transcriptomics. As part of the GRAVIPLAX-Project, I'm investigating the effect of gravity on placozoan gene activity (particularly cell polarity genes) and behavior. By combining ground-based facilities for simulations of microgravity and hypergravity with molecular genetic and bioinformatic tools, this approach potentially offers new insights on the architecture
- [Dr. Jörg Salamon](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/joerg-salamon-phd/) - Research I am strongly interested in the interactions between plant- und soil fauna communities in forest and grassland ecosystems. In this connection I identify soil animals on species level (Collembola, Oribatida, Staphylinidae) for universities and national parks including the writing of scientific reports and articles. Latest publications Jochum, M., Ferlian, O., Thakur, M. P., Ciobanu,
- [Dr. Hans-Jürgen Osigus](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/hans-juergen-osigus-m-sc/) - Research My first interest is the biodiversity and systematic of placozoans. The second focus of my work is on the evolution of mitochondrial genomes in Placozoa and other non-bilaterian phyla. I am also interested in the phylogenetic relationships at the base of the metazoan tree of life.

- [Dr. Kai Kamm](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/kai-kamm-dr-rer-nat/) - Research Coming from evolutionary developmental biology, with a focus on the evolution of homeobox genes in diploblasts, my current research focuses on comparative genomics in the phylum Placozoa. A placozoan genome is roughly 100 megabases small and we have been sequencing and are currently analyzing several placozoan genomes and transcriptomes. This offers the possibility to
- [Dr. Eckhard H. Holtorf](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/eckhard-h-holtorf-phd/) - Nach Studium und Arbeit an verschiedenen Universitäten im Zoologie-Sektor, Studienaustausch in Kanada und Referendarzeit wurde von mir viele Jahre als OStR an Gymnasien das Fach Biologie unterrichtet. Durch die Verbindung zu Prof. Schierwater eröffnete sich mir ein neues Arbeitsfeld der Biodenbiologie in der Außenstelle des Instituts für Tierökologie Bahnhof Schapen im Naturschutzgebiet Riddagshausen. Die Untersuchungen
- [Dr. Jens Hauslage](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/dr-jens-hauslage/) - Research As a gravitational biologist, I study the perception as well as influences of gravity and also weightlessness on life and its development. I am a plant physiologist by background with a minor in physics. Trichoplax is an ideal model organism for me to study the influence of gravity on the formation of polarities and
- [Dr. Wiebke Feindt](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/wiebke-feindt/) - Research As an evolutionary ecologist I am interested in biodiversity, phylogeography, speciation and conservation. For my work I chose insects as model organism. My research focus during my PhD was on studying evolutionary processes within the Neotropical damselfly genus Megaloprepus (Odonata: Zygoptera) to prove speciation. www.researchgate.net/profile/Wiebke_Feindt
- [Jutta Bunnenberg](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/jutta-bunnenberg/)
- [Dr. Tjard Bergmann](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/dr-tjard-bergmann-dipl-biol/) - Research In his current research Tjard Bergmann is developing a new DNA barcoding system based on diagnostic characters. It is called CAOS (Chararcter Attribute Organization System) and was originally developed in collaboration with the AMNH (Rob DeSalle) and the University of Columbia (Neil Indra Sarkar). Publications Tizard J, Patel S, Waugh J, Tavares E, Bergmann
- [Nicole Bartkowiak](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/nicole-bartkowiak/)
- [PD Dr. Heike Hadrys](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/pd-dr-heike-hadrys/) - In her career PD Dr. Heike Hadrys has been developing odonates as a new model system for evolutionary, ecological and global warming research.
- [Prof. Dr. Bernd Schierwater](https://www.ecolevol.de/people/prof-dr-bernd-schierwater/) - Research: In his current research Bernd Schierwater has been developing placozoans as new model systems for evolutionary, ecological and biomedical research. General: “Recte faciendo neminem timeas.”
- [Placozoa](https://www.ecolevol.de/placozoa/) - The most simple metazoan animals, the placozoans, have attracted substantial attention in different areas of biological and lately also biomedical research. The placozoan nuclear genome is the smallest - not secondarily reduced - genome among metazoan animals, yet it harbors all principal gene families known from higher animals. The phylum Placozoa has been monotypic with
- [Teaching](https://www.ecolevol.de/teaching/) - DigitalMarine educational and research training As part of the EU-funded, state-of-the-art DigitalMarine research and teaching activities we have been collecting the closest living relative of the “urmetazoon”, the placozoan Trichoplax adhaerens, from different oceans around the world. Right at the foot of the birthplace of marine biology in Europe, Bernd Schierwater has been collecting placozoans
- [Ecological Field Station<br />Braunschweig-Schapen](https://www.ecolevol.de/research/ecological-fieldstation-braunschweig-schapen/) - The field station of the Institute of Animal Ecology is located in the former railway station of Schapen within the nature reserve Riddagshausen near Braunschweig. The nature reserve Riddagshausen is a Flora-Fauna-Habitat (FFH) area characterized by a small-scale mosaic of different habitat types like ponds, meadows, farmland and mixed forests of beech and oak with
- [Odonata group](https://www.ecolevol.de/research/odonata-group/) - The research of the Hadrys lab is concentrated on evolution, ecology, diversity and conservation of insects. Hereby we mainly work on different odonate species from Europe, Africa and the Neotropics. We investigate biodiversity, population dynamics, phylogenetic relationships, taxonomy, adaptation and speciation using modern molecular and bioinformatic methods from character based barcoding to transcriptomics.
