Welcome!​

The Evolutionary Ecology Group focuses on understanding the evolutionary processes behind current ecological patterns. In focus is the question how animals and plants have co-evolved in the context of frugivory and seed dispersal. The research combines ecological, behavioral, phylogenetic, transcriptomic, and mainly chemical approaches, studying animal-plant interactions in Madagascar, Uganda, South Africa, Brazil, Costa Rica, and other tropical countries.

The Evolutionary Ecology Group (EvE) opened at iDiv and the Institute of Biodiversity at FSU Jena in November 2020. PhD positions will be offered over the next years.
