Claudia Drees

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudia Drees is a German biologist and research assistant at the University of Hamburg .

Life

Claudia Drees studied biology at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster. There she was with the dissertation spread of flightless arthropods over habitat corridors. PhD studies on a metapopulation of Carabus auronitens (Col., Carabidae) in Münsterland . From 2009 to 2011 she worked as a post-doc in the National Collections for Natural History at Tel Aviv University . Since 2007 Drees has been a research associate in Thorsten Assmann's animal ecology group at the Institute for Ecology and Environmental Chemistry at the University of Lüneburg. Since the winter semester of 2012 she has been working at the Zoological Institute of the University of Hamburg, Behavioral Biology Department .

Research and Teaching

In her research, Drees deals with aspects of human activities (e.g. habitat fragmentation , climate change, land use) on the distribution of diversity. In addition to species diversity, she is primarily interested in the distribution of genetic diversity, which she studies with the help of different marker systems ( microsatellites , mtDNA , allozyme ). Model organisms are primarily flightless ground beetles.

Current projects are, on the one hand, PopGeneLand (sub-project in DFG priority program 1374: Biodiversity Exploratories ), in which she and colleagues investigate the influence of landscape fragmentation , landscape history and land use on the genetic makeup of selected ground beetle species . She also works in Israel and is involved in biodiversity research there. Together with Thorsten Aßmann, Andrea Matern and Andreas Schuldt , she described the new African beetle species Eucamaragnathus desenderi in 2011 . Your courses take place in the fields of ecology, general biology and nature conservation biology.
