This research cluster focuses on the ecology of marine organisms from the individual organism level to communities and on their interactions with the environment. Our main research areas are:
- plankton ecology & benthic ecology
- invasive species & biodiversity
- symbiosis
- microbial oceanography & marine biogeochemistry
