PhysioDiv - Biodiversity meets Physiology – Physiology meets Biodiversity

First meeting: 26.-27.09.2013

PI:
Christian Wilhelm

iDiv member:
François Buscot

Project summary:
In the past biodiversity was restricted to organismic research with special attention to plant or animal taxonomy, phylogeny and ecology, whereas physiology was focussed on molecular processes studied in model organisms. Organismic research was merely descriptive whereas physiology was oriented to mechanisms. It is the aim of this workshop to bring together molecular physiologists and functional ecologists to explore the present day knowledge for its potential to bridge organismic and molecular sciences for a deeper understanding of functional biodiversity.
