Ulrich Brose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Brose (* 1970 ) is a German ecologist and professor for biodiversity theory at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and at the iDiv Halle-Jena-Leipzig.

Live and act

Ulrich Brose received his doctorate in 2001 from the University of Potsdam . His dissertation topic was the species diversity of the plant and ground beetle communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of wet spots on several spatial scales . This was followed by a three-year post-doctoral student activity at San Francisco State University and the Rocky Mountains Biological Lab . From 2004 to 2010 he was funded as a junior research group leader at the TU Darmstadt as part of the Emmy Noether Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG) , where his research work on the stability and structure of food networks was honored with the Adolf Messer Prize 2007 in 2008 has been. In 2010 Brose accepted a Heisenberg professorship at the University of Göttingen. In 2015 he moved to the University of Jena and the iDiv Halle-Jena-Leipzig (based in Leipzig). In 2019 Brose received the Thuringian Research Award .

His main research interests are synecology , conservation biology, consumer-resource interactions and the analysis of complex food webs .
