The biodiversity section is doing research on the genetic and organismic diversity of animals and fungi, develops standardized methods to measure and interpret biodiversity and searches for indicators of its value. With experiments and observations we investigate on the influence of utilization, exploitation and natural disturbances on biodiversity. Furthermore, we develop and evaluate measures for the conservation and promotion of biodiversity.
