MSc Raoul Wolf at the Department of Biosciences will give a trial lecture on the given topic: Climate change effects on zooplankton

Differences between individuals can be large and have profound consequences for the dynamics of populations. Even if such differences have unknown causes and/or are unobservable, they can be incorporated into population models, allowing to assess their impacts on population-level patterns.

Peter Kennedy from The Department of Plant & Microbial Biology, University of Minnesota will give a talk entitled "Adventures in optimizing the molecular characterization of fungi communities"

Peter Kennedy is a fungal ecologist broadly interested plant-microbe interactions. He has worked most extensively on the ectomycorrhizal fungal symbiosis, focusing on how the structure of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities is influenced by factors such as interspecific competition, host specificity, and biogeography.

Friday, February 2nd, we will discuss a recent paper by Rolland et al (2018): The impact of endothermy on the climatic niche evolution and the distribution of vertebrate diversity
