Prof. Dr. Andreas Jürgens serves as Dean for Student Affairs at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Department of Chemical Plant Ecology. His research focuses on plant-pathogen interactions, floral mimicry, pollination biology, and chemical ecology. He investigates how plants adapt to ecological challenges through mechanisms like carrion/dung mimicry and employs molecular methods to study fungal and phytoplasma pathogens in agricultural systems.
- Key areas: Phytoplasma infection dynamics, entomopathogenic fungi, pollinator-prey conflicts, and olfactory communication in plants and animals.
- Notable work includes studies on Cacopsylla psyllids, Botrytis cinerea strains, and the ecological roles of floral scent and color.
Research extends to animal behavior, including rhino dung communication and bumblebee learning, demonstrating interdisciplinary approaches. His publications emphasize plant defense mechanisms, pathogen-vector relationships, and evolutionary trade-offs in multispecies interactions.
