Molecular tools in alpine ecology and environmental forensics - current possibilities at Institute of High Mountain Biology

Field of molecular biology deals with molecular basis of biological activity. Nowadays it is one of the fastest developing fields in environmental science. In ecology the present knowledge and utilization of molecular tools enable scientists to resolve complicated challenges in the process of studying species individuals and populations, environment and ecological processes. In this quest it serves as a vital extension to basic methods as a different approach of searching for answers for addressed questions within the molecular plan of large scale manifestations of classic biology. In environmental forensics this approach is applied to resolve legal cases connected to environmental crime...
