Resource Ecology Group
The Resource Ecology Group performs research and education in community ecology of large herbivores, with particular emphasis on the interactions between herbivores and the vegetation. This is carried out at aggregation levels ranging from plant part to ecosystem, in both temperate and tropical regions.

Our Research
Rangeland Ecology
Rangelands cover a broad diversity of ecosystems worldwide and provide key ecosystem services at regional and global scales. Their economic and ecological importance are enormous as providers of major tourist revenues, economic services and space for free-ranging livestock or wildlife.
Disease Ecology
Traditionally, ecologists studied only “healthy animals and plants” while doctors and veterinarians studied the effects of microorganisms and pathogens on animals and people.
