Project description:Here, we applied a microarray-based metagenomics technology termed GeoChip 5.0 to examined functional gene structure of microbes in four lakes at low and high elevations of approximately 530 and 4,600 m a.s.l., respectively.

Project description:Population genetic variation in four grasshoppers along an elevational gradient
Project description:It is assumed that climate and land-use changes cause increasing stress to pollinators, which play pivotal roles in almost all terrestrial ecosystems, with consequences on population growth, diversity and ecosystem functions. While these responses to global change drivers are well located, the molecular pathways triggering the response are poorly understood. We analysed the transcriptomic response of Bombus lucorum workers in their systematic responses to temperature and livestock grazing, sampled along an elevational gradient from 650 – 1930 m.a.s.l., and from differently managed grassland sites (livestock grazing vs. unmanaged) in and around the National Park Berchtesgaden (German Alps).
