Please note: most of us have moved to University of Göttingen. Information on the new Department of Ecosystem Modelling in Göttingen can be found here.
The spatial ecology group investigates the role of space on population dynamics, interspecific interactions, and biodiversity. The reason for this focus is that space has long been ignored for philosophical (space = noise detracting from the true pattern) and technical (computer power) reasons. Meanwhile, it is clear that the spatial distribution of organisms and resources is important for understanding many ecological questions, making spatial ecology a promising field of research. Our work has a strong methodological emphasis on simulation models (always in combination with field research) and spatial statistics.
