Profile

Field of work

I am responsible for the support and assistance of the practical work in the morphology lab since April 2019. My tasks include the lab managment of the morpholab, the sample preparation and the data generation for histological and µ-CT samples. I fell for my special area of expertise, the histology, after my first Masson-Goldner-trichrom-staining in 2011 and I am still marvelled by the possibilities of this technique.

Defense systems of Chromodorididae [22]

Chromodorididae is a sea slug group known for the most colorful members. The aposematic coloration is usually discussed in the light of their toxicity. While feeding on sponges, they take up the toxic compounds and store them in special structures along the notum margin. They are used as defense against predators, like fish or crabs. We investigate the evolution and efficiency of these so-called mantle dermal formations within Chromodorididae

Evolution of Dexiarchia [25]

The sea slugs of the subgroup Dexiarchia comprise at least 2,000 different species and many more undescribed members. Until today there exists no phylogenetic analysis of Dexiarchia that comprises all major families and corroborates the relationships within this group, which is the aim of our project.
