Thirteen articles with KomBioTa affiliation published  [06.12.23]

Making the activities, insights, and visions of our research community more visible with the KomBioTa team spirit.


Together we achieve more. KomBioTa therefore brings together researchers in the field of species knowledge. In this way, knowledge should flow within our growing network and the impact on the external impact should be increased. For this reason, the members of the competence center have agreed to make KomBioTa visible as an institution in their scientific publications.

We are very proud that due to this agreement the following thirteen research articles related to KomBioTa could be counted in 2023:
