Lecture 6: Together we are strong – Why organisms help each other
Prof. Dr. Christian Kost (© Simone Reukauf)
Prof. Dr. Christian Kost (Ecology)
We are living in extremely exciting times. Major challenges are waiting for us to overcome them. Think, for example, of global warming, the loss of biodiversity, the increased emergence of antibiotic-resistant germs or global pandemics (e.g. Covid-19). Ecology and evolutionary biology play a central role in all of these problems. The good news is that, thanks to modern methods, we are able to understand the causes of these phenomena and thus combat them. In the lecture, current fields of work in ecology will be discussed and the main focus of the ecology working group will be presented: the emergence of co-operation.
