Dr. L. Weiss is a faculty member in the Department of Evolutionary Ecology and Animal Biodiversity at the Ruhr University Bochum. Her research focuses on the neuroecological and molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity in freshwater crustaceans, particularly Daphnia, and how these organisms adapt to environmental stressors like climate change.
- Phenotypic Plasticity: Studying predator-induced defenses (e.g., morphological and behavioral changes) triggered by kairomones.
- Diapause Mechanisms: Exploring cellular and molecular strategies for surviving harsh conditions.
- Anthropogenic Stressors: Analyzing the effects of elevated pCO2 and climate change on freshwater ecosystems.
The 15 most recent publications highlight her work on predator-prey coevolution, chemical signaling pathways, and climate change impacts, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches combining ecology, neurobiology, and molecular biology.
