Understanding the consequences of environmental stress on life history traits in a soil arthropod
Laufzeit: ab 01.01.2010
Förderung durch: ESF
Kurzfassung
Anthropogenic influences are known to induce ecological responses and the pivotal question is if the rate and extent of species response to stressful events enable them to persist in a changing world. Soil fauna communities are especially vulnerable because of their limited dispersal ability. This project aims to a deep understanding of phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary changes in a soil arhropod model species.
