Dr. Stefan Merker: Mammal research at the Natural History Museum Stuttgart
Inaugural Lecture
University of Hohenheim, Garbenstr. 28, Lecture Hall Ö1
Dr. Stefan Merker is mainly focussing on mammalian biogeography, He is especially interested in drivers and mechanisms of speciation. Why and how do animals disperse? Which physical structures are barriers to or corridors for dispersal, now and in the past? And for which organisms? If not by geographic settings, how is reproductive isolation achieved and maintained? And vice versa: What do dated phylogenies tell us about past habitats and the distribution of land and sea? His current studies focus on tarsiers (little Southeast Asian primates) and several native mammals (beavers, rabbits).
It is recommended to attend the seminar in person, but it is also possible to join via Zoom.
