In co-operation with the UFZ and the State Environmental Agency (Staatliches Umweltfachamt Leipzig), the phytoplankton assemblages of local waters are being analysed – not only to assess water quality but also to correlate the spectral features of suspended matter in water bodies detected from the air.
Some of the findings could be generalised, such as trends in the development of interests in biology (analysed from various angles such as the age and sex of the test persons and of the various content of biology) as well as incentives and other factors of stimulation for this mentioned development.
All departments of the Zoological Institute are actively involved in many regional, national and international scientific co-operation projects, including with UFZ Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig–Halle, SIAB Saxon Institute of Applied Biotechnology), the DFG priority programme "Functional and Adaptive Mechanisms of Circadian Systems" and "ZIZAS" ("Time-related Information Processing in the Central Auditory System").
