Website: http://www3.botany.ubc.ca/bleander/people.html

Research interests: a. Morphology and phylogenetic relationships of gregarine parasites (Apicomplexa) from marine invertebrates off the British Columbia coast, Canada. b. Fish parasites in mariculture facilities c. Transfer mechanisms of marine fish parasites d. Life cycles of fish parasites. e. Parasites as biological indicators. f. Parasites in freshwater and brackish water habitats

Research activities: From April 2002-March 2004, S. Rückert was  working within a research project sponsored by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) in Lampung, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The project on fish parasites in Indonesian grouper mariculture was carried out in cooperation with the Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia. From November 2004 until March 2007, she is working under the German-Indonesian cooperation in Marine Sciences within the project SPICE, Science on the protection of the Indonesian coastal ecosystems, in the Centre for Tropical Ecology, at the University Bremen, Germany. Since July 2007, she has a postdoc position at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Her major goal is the first description and documentation of grearine parasites in marine invertebrates off the Canadian coast.

Name: Dipl. Biol. Kellermanns, Esra

Date of birth: 22.02.1978

Current position: Ph.D. student at the University Düsseldorf, Germany

 

Title of thesis: Fish parasites in the bathydemersal zone: Characterization, distribution pattern and life cycles

E-Mail: esra@kellermanns.net

 

Research interests: a. Taxonomy and biogeography of fish parasites. b. Bathydemersal fish parasites from the Greenland Sea. c. Molecular characterization of ascaridoid nematodes.

 

Research activities: From February 2005 until December 2005, E. Kellermanns (E. Kara) worked on fish parasites of Macrourus berglax from the East Greenland Sea. One important result was the high parasite richness in this bathydemersal deep-sea fish. From January-February 2006, she worked at the Bergen Museum, Norway, to further study other deep-sea fish species. Since September 2006 E.
