Mayrhofer, Nicola

I am a member of the Aquatic Ecology teaching team where I organise and teach practical courses and excursions for bachelor and master students (biology and environmental sciences) from ETH and from the University of Zurich. The main topic of courses that I teach are lake & river ecology and invertebrate & algae taxonomy. Further courses include topics such as ecological parasitology, experimental ecotoxicology and invasive species ecology. Additionally, I take care of the macroinvertebrate-collection maintenance and support the groups in various research projects including field and lab work.
Furthermore, I am interested in evolutionary biology and am working part-time in the Evolutionary Biology research group of Gregory Velicer, also hosted by the Institute of Integrative Biology.
