PhD project: BayÖkoTox, subproject 4 | Effects of diesel soot and brake abrasion at lethal and sublethal levels on the dark earth bumblebee Bombus terrestris and the twitch fly Chironomus riparius
Due to their physicochemical properties, fine dust particles, which are produced for example by brake abrasion or from engine combustion processes, could have negative effects on insects and their organisms and thus be relevant for the decline of insects. The project aims to contribute to a better understanding of the potential negative effects of airborne pollutants from traffic and to provide impulses for the further development of technical solutions by establishing the buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris as a bioindicator.
The doctoral project is embedded in the research focus Multiple Stressors in Ecosystems.
