The FWF (Austrian Science Fund) funded the stand-alone project "The role of fatty acids in changing alpine stream ecosystems" (2021-2024). 

This project aims a) to quantify the availability and production of nutritious fatty acids in alpine stream food webs, b) to identify effects on higher trophic levels, and c) to predict climate-change effects (deglaciation and warming) on the overall nutritional quality of this type of headwaters.
