• Master: Senckenberg

• Topic: Temporal variability of infauna communities in the eastern North Sea

Aims

• Influence of sediment type to feeding

behaviour of birds

• Forecast future scenarios due to anthropogenic or natural changes

• Focus on mussel banks and seagrass meadows

Master thesis

Looked for changes in the

community structure since last investigations

Two years (2010/2011)

Communities disturbed due to

extreme cold winter but recovered in 2011

Basically still the same infauna communities

Got interested in benthic organisms
