      Research and Diversity: creating habitats

      When the ecologist, Marion Cordonnier, is doing fieldwork, it is sometimes deathly quiet – which is when the Humboldt Fellow and visiting researcher at the University of Regensburg’s Institute of Zoology is busy in cemeteries of small Bavarian towns. Here she collects ants of the Temnothorax species that nest in walls or between the gravestones. “These ants really live in crevices in rock but here they utilise sometimes an artificial environment where they find the same conditions as in their natural habitat,” says Marion Cordonnier. She belongs to the research group around the entomologist, Professor Jürgen Heinze, and uses various methods to study how changed habitats affect the gene flow, the microbiome or the behaviour of ant species.

The colonial era made deep inroads into identities – and has a huge impact to this day, not least on science and research.

      Unity and inequality

      Is the fact that East Germans are underrepresented in the leadership of German universities a case of inner-German colonialism?

      Questioning certainties

      In the global knowledge-production economy, resources and access are unfairly distributed. How this asymmetry came about, where there are still problems and where the conditions are beginning to change.
