Priv.-Doz. Dr. Annette Kolb

Nach vielen Jahren aktiver Forschung und Lehre an der Universität Bremen bin ich seit Oktober 2017 als Forschungsreferentin an der Hochschule Bremen tätig. Als Privatdozentin bin ich der Universität Bremen weiterhin verbunden.

An der Universität Bremen habe ich bis 2017 vor allem folgende Forschungsthemen bearbeitet:

  • Auswirkungen globaler und lokaler Umweltveränderungen auf die Ökologie und Evolution von Pflanzen
  • Tier-Pflanzen-Interaktionen (Bestäubung, Herbivorie, Samenprädation)
  • Biodiversität und Ökosystemfunktionen von Waldökosystemen

In der Lehre war ich als eigenverantwortliche Dozentin an vielen Veranstaltungen im Bachelor-Studiengang Biologie (z.B. Formenkenntnis Pflanzen, Grundkurs Ökologie, Berufsfelder in den Biowissenschaften) und im Master-Studiengang Ecology (z.B. Population Ecology, Concepts of Ecology) beteiligt.
