Main fields of work/interest
- Identification of soil animals on species level (Collembola, Oribatida, Staphylinidae) for companies, universities and national parks including the making of permanent slide preparation.
- Writing of scientific reports and articles about soil animals including statistical analysis.
- Excursions to get knowledge about insects and other animals in forests and meadows (mainly for groups of students).
- Cooperation within ecological projects sponsored by different institutions with the focus on the identification of the soil fauna (e.g the project “EDAPHOBASE” sponsored by the BMBF).
