The research group of Evolutionary Zoology invites Ukrainian researchers to come to Austria and colaborate. We are working on topics from the fields of evolutionary zoology and conservation biology. A major focus of our group is how animals, mainly insects and birds, respond and rapidly adapt to environmental changes and stress. Our study areas are located in and around Salzburg (city and high mountains) as well as in the tropics (Sub-Saharan Africa). Representative methods and approaches of our work are phylogenetics and phylogeography, eco-physiology, behaviour biology, and conservation biology. A stronghold of our group is the implementation of historical data among current, to predict future trends, from individual level to species communities.
