معرفی
Dr. Alexander Scheuerlein is a Research Fellow affiliated with the University of Greifswald and its Applied Zoology and Nature Conservation department. His work focuses on bat demography, climate change impacts on species, and evolutionary mechanisms of senescence, with significant contributions to global databases like COMADRE and COMPADRE. He collaborates with institutions such as the Max Planck Institute and British Ecological Society.
Research Interests:
Dr. Scheuerlein investigates how bats in northern temperate zones—a species at the 'slow' end of life history strategies—respond to environmental changes. He compiles nationwide demographic data to assess population vulnerabilities, emphasizing climate change and habitat monitoring. His studies extend to senescence in organisms like Hydra and adaptive traits in social insects.
Scientific Awards:
- 2016 PNAS Cozzarelli Prize Class V (for longevity research)
- Elton Award 2016 (British Ecological Society, for animal demography)
Article Trends:
His publications span bat ecology, senescence, and global demographic databases. Recent studies explore RFID monitoring, climate-driven body size shifts, and mortality costs in hibernating bats. Earlier works analyze aging patterns across mammals, photoperiodic responses in birds, and chemical defenses in arthropods.
