Life

Hörren grew up in the greater Cologne area . Already in his childhood he showed a pronounced natural history interest in insects, which was followed early on by specializing in the insect order Coleoptera . After completing school in Bergheim , he trained as a biological-technical assistant at the Rheinische Akademie in Cologne . He later studied biology at the University of Duisburg-Essen . He completed his studies with a Bachelor of Science . He is currently a master's student and employee in aquatic ecology at the University of Duisburg-Essen .

research

Hörren's research deals, among other things, with the faunistics and taxonomy of insects , insect diversity and biodiversity damage . He has published his research in numerous publications.

Hörren is a member of the Entomological Association Krefeld and co-author of the long-term study on insect mortality , which was published in 2017 by an international team of scientists in the journal PLOS ONE . He also published results on the decline in the number of flying insects in nature reserves.

Hörren informs the public about his research through science communication, among other things through specialist lectures and contributions in social media services. In addition, he appeared repeatedly in the media as an insect expert to provide information on insect decline or general topics related to insects.

Honors

As part of the Krefeld research team, he received several awards for research on insect decline, to which he made a significant contribution. In 2018, researchers of the association received the German Biodiversity Award from the Heinz Sielmann Foundation . In 2019, Hörren, together with Martin Sorg, accepted the Science Hero Prize from the Conference on Biological Departments at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . In addition, the scientists were nominated for the German Sustainability Award 2019 for "Standardized Monitoring of Insects" and achieved third place in the audience votes.
