Reasearch grant: Jonas Letschert
The Galapagos Islands are a fragile area whose marine ecosystem is threatened by, among others, invasive species. Jonas Letschert traveled there to study the problem. For his master’s thesis at the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology and the University of Bremen, he and the researchers from the Charles Darwin Research Station applied so-called colonization plates, which were examined in the laboratory after 3 months. Aqueis supported Jonas in his research.
Here is the introduction to his work:
The Effect of tourism on benthic introduced species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve
