Ulrich Sinsch

Summary

My research interests are behaviour and ecology of amphibians since Diploma and PhD thesis at the Institue of Zoology of the University of Cologne, Germany, which dealt with the behavioural regulation of body temperature and osmotic homeostasis. As a postdoc at the Max-Planck Institute of Behavioural Physiology at Seewiesen and at the University of Bonn focus changed to the orientation behaviour and population ecology o famphibians and lizards. As a Full Professor of Zoology at the University of Koblenz-Landau (since 1992), I have served as head of the Department of Biology and as Dean of the Faculty of Sciences.My current research focuses on the population ecology and biodiversity of palearctic, tropical and neotropical anurans, and on the limnology of temperate lakes.
