Der Rückgang der biologischen Vielfalt ist neben dem Klimawandel eines der drängendsten Umweltprobleme der heutigen Zeit. Das Synthesezentrum Biodiversität bündelt Erkenntnisse und macht sie allgemein verfügbar.
Eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen Eawag und WSL mit dem Ziel, die Biodiversität an der Schnittstelle von aquatischen und terrestrischen Ökosystemen zu erforschen.
Dieses Projekt ist ein Beitrag zur Blue Green Biodiversity Research Initiative - einer Eawag-WSL-Kooperation, die sich mit Biodiversität an der Schnittstelle von aquatischen und terrestrischen Ökosystemen beschäftigt
Laboratory experiments under controlled chemostat conditions have indicated that evolution of algal populations can occur on ecological time-scales and can significantly alter community dynamics and ecosystem ...
Algal eco-evolutionary dynamics in nature
Assess the distribution and genetic structure of all amphipod species in Switzerland.
Understanding how facultative endosymbiotic bacteria that increase host resistance shape coevolution between aphid hosts and their hymenopteran parasitoids.
Studying dispersal processes and diversity patterns in dendritic networks, using a wider range of approaches, including simulation models, protist microcosm experiments and field studies.

Identification of transformation products and assessment of environmental relevance
An ecological longterm study of the Spöl River, Swiss National Park, to experimental high flows since 1999, including redd counts of brown trout, macroinvertebrates, periphyton and water physico-chemistry at periodic times during each year.
Population genetics approaches to investigate how the massive level of habitat fragmentation affects population connectivity of crayfish, and if technical countermeasures effectively mitigate the negative effects of fragmentation.
