Stephanie I. J. Holzhauer

 

Expertise

• insect ecology in agricultural landscapes and forests
• landscape genetics (past and present)
• population genetics
• light pollution

Tasks

• to investigate the effects of landscape structure on the population genetic structure of selected pollinators (hoverflies, bumblebees)
• to study plant-pollinator interactions in systems of spatially isolated plant populations
• to investigate long-term changes in present species genetic diversity in response to landscape change.
• Principal Investigator in the project ‘Landscape genetics of insect-pollinated forest herbs in changing agricultural landscapes’ funded by the DFG, in cooperation with Dr. Tobias Naaf (ZALF) and Dr. Katja Kramp (Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut)
