Using innovative experimental designs and molecular techniques, our research uncovers symbiotic diversity and investigates how symbiosis can shape ecosystem functioning, drive species diversity, and ...

where he developed a research program focused on symbiosis and molecular ecology. Symbiosis is a defining feature of the biology of many animals, whose relationships with bacterial “symbionts” shape ...

Industrial farming practices often deplete the soil of important nutrients and minerals, leaving farmers to rely on ...

Symbiotic interactions of microorganisms are widespread in nature, and support fundamentally important processes in diverse areas of biology that range from health and disease to ecology and the ...

The word symbiosis, originally defined as “where ... with important roles in health, disease, ecology and environmental processes.

Scientists use small peptides to enhance symbiosis between plants and fungi, offering a sustainable alternative to artificial fertilizers. Plant biologists discover new plant molecule, CLE16, as well ...

Researchers from the Department of Insect Symbiosis at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena and the Mutualisms Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tübingen ...

are highly diverse and can occur in symbiosis with mollusks, sponges, flatworms, protists, some ciliates, and cnidarians (including reef-building corals). Understanding the ecology and evolution of ...

After a couple of years at the University of Lund on a Marie Curie Fellowship (2018-2020), I am now back in Helsinki as the leader of the Insect Symbiosis Ecology and Evolution research group. I ...

Our research includes Ecology, Evolution, Environmental Change, Ecohydrology, Systematics & Floristics, and Symbiosis. These are investigated using genomics, computational science, stable isotopes, ...
