The Asellus Consortium

These are the current members of The Asellus Consoritum. Our goal is to better connect the community of isopod researchers through meetings and symposia, compile data-sources, protocols and basic knowledge on Asellus aquaticus, and to organize.

The consortium is open to anyone - if you are interested in helping us, please get in touch with us at asellus.consortium@gmail.com

Elvira is interested in the mechanisms by which organisms cope with environmental changes. She is particularly fond of Asellus and studies how these aquatic isopods deal with stressors arising from human activity.

Katja is interested in integrative eco-evolutionary processes within organisms and populations as well as ecosystems. She finds A. aquaticus both an ugly beauty and a well-suited model system for studying responses of natural populations to human induced changes.
