A maximum of six centimeters long and weighing two grams: Despite its inconspicuous appearance, Antarctic krill plays a central role for life in the Southern Ocean.

The behavior of Antarctic krill not only reacts to external environmental influences such as light or food. It also uses its internal clock to adapt to the extreme conditions of the polar environment.

How the brain and the circadian clock shape behaviour

Group picture chair

How the brain and the circadian clock shape behaviour is the fundamental question behind our research projects. Our primary model system is the genetically amenable fruit fly, though we also do work on other insects. For more information on the current lines of research, please check out the links below for the different groups at our chair.
