Department of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology (Zoology III)
Led by Prof. Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter, we’re the 🐝-hive of biodiversity research at the University of Würzburg’s Biocenter, Germany 🇩🇪 From buzzing tropical forests to European farmlands, we decode how climate and land use changes shape the web of life.
