from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kathrin Dausmann (born May 30, 1972 ) is a German biologist and professor of functional ecology at the University of Hamburg .

Career

Kathrin Dausmann studied biology at the Julius Maximilians University in Würzburg and at the University of Oxford in Great Britain from 1991 to 1997 . In 2004 she did her doctorate at the Institute for Zoology at the Philipps University in Marburg and in the same year received a junior professorship for ecophysiology at the University of Hamburg. She has been Professor of Functional Ecology at the University of Hamburg since 2015 and specializes in the ecology and ecophysiology of small mammals, energy budgets and adaptations to novel habitats.

Research priorities

Dausmann researches the physiological and ethological foundations of ecology in different taxonomic groups (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds). Her focus is on the question of how animals adapt and balance their energy budgets in a changing environment, and which factors are decisive here.
