Overview

Bernd Sures is affiliated with the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany and primarily works within the field of Environmental Science. Their research concentrates substantially on Ecology, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Pollution, Parasitology, and issues related to Global and Planetary Change.

The scientist's work covers several key topics, including:

  • Parasite Biology and Host Interactions
  • Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology
  • Parasites and Host Interactions
  • Heavy metals in environment
  • Isotope Analysis in Ecology
  • Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior
  • Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts

Among their recent publications are:

  • "Impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biota across spatial scales and ecosystems," 2020, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • "The Asymmetric Response Concept explains ecological consequences of multiple stressor exposure and release," 2023, The Science of The Total Environment
  • "Environmental parasitology: stressor effects on aquatic parasites," 2023, Trends in Parasitology
  • "Effects of multiple stressors in fish: how parasites and contaminants interact," 2022, Parasitology
  • "Bridging the gap: aquatic parasites in the One Health concept," 2021, Trends in Parasitology

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Bernd Sures include Milen Nachev, Daniel Grabner, Torsten C. Schmidt, Nico J. Smit, and Sebastian Prati. Their collaborative efforts have contributed to the body of knowledge around environmental and parasitological issues.

In terms of publication venues, Sures has contributed most often to:
