Contact person Jonathan Jeschke Department (Dept. 5) Evolutionary and Integrative Ecology Start 04/2019 End 03/2022 Topic Long-term effects of invasive species in novel communities (InDyNet) Invasion biology has addressed or even solved several key questions about biological invasions, but the central issue of long-term effects of invasive species has remained critically unexplored. Several case studies exist about long-term population dynamics of invasive species and their impacts, but a general synthesis or understanding is currently lacking. This knowledge gap is critical, as long-term shifts in invader population densities and traits are likely and may have large consequences of ecological and economic interest. This project aims to narrow the knowledge gap.

The project leaders aim to investigate whether pond ecosystems become more resilient through evolutionary or microbiome-mediated adaptation of water fleas (Daphnia) to urban pollution.

The project’s overarching aim is to develop improved methods for maximising the use of ponds and pondscapes in climate change adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity conservation and the delivery of ecosystem services.

WANDEL focuses on the question of whether limited water availability restricts the use of conventional energy systems and thereby accelerates the energy transition, or whether it actually slows the transition down.
