    Topics for BSc/MSc Thesis

    Topics for thesis

    The Field Station of Fabrikschleichach (FSF) and the Nationalpark Bavarian Forest (NP BW) offers distinct topics in applied ecology for Bachelor and Master thesis based on literature, field and/or lab work. Each topic will be supervised by members of the field station team, whereas the respective supervisor is mentioned in brackets at the end of the respective topic.

    Projects at the Fieldstation Fabrikschleichach/Uniwald/Steigerwald:

    • Differences of degradation rates of different substrats (cellulose, wood, leaf litter) at university forest along a gradient of tree species (JM, Uni forest, in cooperation with Uni Freiburg, Prof. Scherer-Lorenzen)
    • Differences of soundscapes (birds, bats, insects) at university forest along a gradient of tree species (JM, Uni forest, in cooperation with Uni Freiburg, Prof. Scherer-Lorenzen)
    • Reaction of moth communities at treespecies diversity and microclimate (JM)
    • Reaction of birds and bats at treespecies diversity and microclimate (JM)
    • Comparison of biodiversity in beech forests in Iran, Georgia and Armenia (JM)
    • Comparison of the beetle fauna in tinder fungus fruit bodies from red beech forests with tinder sponges from oriental beech and other tree species from the Western Palearctic (JM, FSF or NP BW)
       

    • Do changes in forest structure affect bird sound diversity? (OM, CW)

    • Predation in production forests: Identifying arthropod predator groups from artificial caterpillars and differences in their predation rates (CW, JM)

    • Effects of habitat structures on flying insects (MW, CW)

    • Reactions of bats and saproxylic beetles to the Saproxylic Habitat Sites within the LifeSpan - project (RP, own car advantageous)

     

    Projects in the Nationalpark Bavarian Forest

    • Xylobiontic beetles along a gradient of succession and light intensity (JM, FSF)

    • Habitat quantity and habitat networking of moor - An analysis of beetle communities (JM, NP BW)

    • Reaction of mollusc communities at climate change along a altitudinal gradient (JM, NP BW
