Alexei Tiunov is head of Laboratory of Soil Zoology, A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in Moscow, Russia. In his seminar, he will address the following topics: (1) main principles of the ‘isotope ecology’, (2) using stable isotope analysis (SIA) for resolving some long-standing fundamental questions in soil biology, (3) new isotope-based achievements in understanding the trophic structure of soil animal communities, and (4) how SIA can be used to clarify ecological interactions of mycorrhizal fungi.
Title of the talk: Using stable isotope analysis (SIA) to decipher the structure of soil food webs
Time: Thursday, 5. October 2017 at 15.15
Place: Tartu, Lai 40-218 (Vaga auditorium)
A. Tiunov will also held a discussion group with graduate students and other early career scientists on Friday, Oct. 6th at 10.30 in the coffee room of Lai 40. Everyone is welcomed!
