Research investigating the chemical ecology of marine invertebrates aims to understand the ecological function of their secondary metabolites. To gain a better understanding of the ecological roles of secondary metabolites we are assessing possible antimicrobial, antifouling, allelopathic, and signaling and defense functions in selected marine invertebrates. One goal is to combine the chemical ecology research with management-oriented studies to develop new management techniques and strategies to help preserve and manage ecosystems in temperate (e.g. Wadden Sea and north Sea) and tropical locations (e.g. Coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region). One focus is the identification of settlings cues for scleractinian coral larvae.
