Within ecotoxicological field studies I investigate the response of the soil mesofauna to the application of pesticides. I identify Collembola and Oribatidas on species level. Focusing on other soil mesofauna groups I additionally count the densities of Gamasina, Uropodina, Astigmata and Prostigmata from soil samples.

Moreover, I am able to support the writing of ecotoxicological reports, e.g.
