Ecology and Evolution of Molecular Parasite-Host Interactions
Head: Prof. Emanuel Heitlinger
We use the hybrid zone of the two subspecies of the house mouse, which often determines population structure of parasites, as a natural laboratory for adaptations and coevolution.

Plant Evolution and Biodiversity
Head: N. N.
We study interactions between plant parasites, their hosts, and the abiotic environment using experimental-genetic and evolutionary-ecological methods to understand the feedback loops driving parasite-host-environment adaptation. The lab develops resources to identify pests from environmental samples and engages in forest genetics research. We also actively commit to the conservation of native plants through citizen science projects.
