Research priorities

We use fish to investigate general questions in ecology and evolution as well as applied issues in fisheries management, conservation of aquatic habitats and floodplain restoration. Our field and experimental studies are conducted in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The current topics investigated in our department are:

behavioural and evolutionary ecology of bitterling fish

adaptation and coevolution of bitterling and their mussel hosts

demography, ecology and biogeography of Nothobranchius furzeri

ecology, distribution and parasites of invasive Neogobius fishes

0+ juvenile fish community structure in lowland rivers and their flood plains

optimisation of methods for 0+ juvenile fish sampling

impacts of metazoan parasites on 0+ juvenile fish development

community ecology of fishes in the Gambia River floodplain, Senegal, West Africa

reproductive isolating mechanisms in the East African annual fishes Nothobranchius spp.
