Master- und Bachelor-Projekte

Im Kontext unserer laufenden Projekte bieten wir Themen für Master- und Bachelorarbeiten an, in denen wir mit Hilfe genomischer Methoden die Evolution von Arten, einschließlich ihrer demografischen und adaptiven Veränderungen, erforschen. Unser Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Säugetieren und Amphibien.
