PredAqua Project

Predictive food web models for aquatic ecosystems (PredAqua)

  • Principal Investigator: Dr. Ferenc Jordan
  • Funding: PNRR/2022/C9/MCID/I8 - Development of a program to attract highly specialized human resources from abroad in research, development and innovation activities
  • Project duration: 2024-2026
  • Budget: 4.620.000 RON (929.577 Euro)
  • Short description: Our project addresses the question of how to assess and improve the predictive power of food web models. We perform experimental food web research in freshwater mesocosms, supported by static and dynamic network analysis. We test the predictability of a range of models by comparing simulations and community dynamics in the mesocosms.
