Dr. Philipp Uhl

Person

I studied Environmental Science at the University of Koblenz-Landau and finished in 2013. In my diploma thesis I studied sublethal effects of the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid on interactions in a tritrophic system of non-target species (wild strawberry Fragaria vesca, wood cricket Nemobius sylvestris, nursery web spider Pisaura mirabilis).

Research Interests

• Trophic interactions
• Terrestrial ecotoxicology
• Behavioural ecology
• Bee ecology
• Non-target organisms

Research Projects

Insecticide effects on wild bee species and their ecosystem services

Protection of wild pollinators in pesticide risk assessment and management (R+D Project funded by the Federal Environmental Agency Germany. FKZ 3715 64 409 0)
