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 ...

They were then taken up by a cell and have evolved over time in symbiosis with the host cell. These "endosymbionts" lost their ability to function autonomously in the process. One well-known ...

Although 'symbiosis' encompasses mutualistic ... as the hierarchy of life collapses in a microorganism: their ecology is, in essence, their biochemistry and molecular biology.

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 ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has investigated why the fruit fly Drosophila ...

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

The space station is a critical platform for large-scale scientific experiments and an outpost for deep-space exploration. Within it, complex conditions such as microgravity, radiation, containment, ...
