Our research project
In our research project we focus on the effects of anthelmintics in cattle farming on dung beetles. We study the development and survival of dung beetles in dung of treated and untreated animals and the potential attraction of dung beetles to anthelmintics. Also, we investigate how anthelmintics affect seed germination in grassland plants.
During your RISE-stipend you will participate in the research described with your own project. The work will mostly be field-based in the countryside of Schleswig-Holstein, but there will be some lab work and the opportunity to improve your insect identifying skills too. Due to the practical character
of the project, it will not be possible to conduct it virtually.
