Our focus is on the interaction between environmental change and phenotypic plasticity and adaptation. We aim to explore the relationship between underlying physiological and molecular mechanisms and their ecological and behavioural manifestation.

Integrating physiology and ecology

Evolution is driven by environmental change which acts on organisms' physiology and thereby fitness. The environment is never stable, and organisms must either cope with varying physiological performance or implement some form of regulation. Led by Frank Seebacher, we focus our research on responses of animals to changing environments and look at how these responses have evolved in space and time.

Our research

Thermal variability

Our current research aims to determine the resilience of animals to heat waves, measure the underlying mechanisms, and model these mathematically.

Plasticity

We research plasticity that is induced by epigenetic mechanisms during development, and how these modulate within-individual, reversible plasticity (acclimation). 

Behaviour

We are interested in how physiological capacities can constrain behaviour and thereby explain behavioural patterns of individuals and interactions between individuals.
