معرفی
Hermann Voglmayr is affiliated with the Faculty of Life Sciences and serves in the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to biodiversity and ecosystem conservation.
Research Interests
Dr. Voglmayr specializes in fungal taxonomy, biodiversity research, and plant pathology. His studies focus on discovering new fungal species (e.g., in Chaetothyriales and Diaporthales), exploring ant-fungal symbiosis, and understanding pathogenic interactions between fungi and plants. His research integrates molecular phylogenetics and morphological analysis to classify species and elucidate evolutionary relationships.
Projects
- Phylogenetik der Diaporthales (2015–2020): Investigated evolutionary relationships within the Diaporthales order.
- Speziation v.Peronospora (2010–2014): Studied speciation mechanisms in Peronospora pathogens.
Activities & Media
He has presented research on ant-plant mutualisms and fungal communities at international conferences (e.g., 2022 poster session on ant-plant ecosystems). Public engagement includes media features like Heiler und Zerstörer: Vielseitige Pilze (June 2023) and Wie Pilze und Wald zusammenwirken (October 2021).
