Aljoscha KressPh.D. student C4.2: Aquatic Organisms and Biocoenosis Research interests/current works - the ecological niche of the highly invasive Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus (microhabitat) To pursue the research of my diploma thesis, I'm investigating the effects of multiple stressors, e.g. insecticides under climate change conditions, as well as UV-light, nutrition and inter- and intraspecific competition, on the invasive Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus and the indigenous mosquito Culex pipiens molestus. Beyond this, my research focus on the cold hardiness of A. albopictus in the field, the development of cold hardiness in the laboratory and the mechanisms laying behind.
