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.

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.
