Overview

Jakob Brodersen is affiliated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology in Switzerland. Their research primarily focuses on Environmental Science with substantial work in Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Ecological Modeling. They also contribute to fields such as Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Aquatic Science.

Much of Brodersen's research covers topics related to Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Species Distribution and Climate Change, as well as Isotope Analysis in Ecology. Their work further explores Fish Biology and Ecology Studies, Plant and Animal Studies, and Physiological and Biochemical Adaptations.

Brodersen has published numerous recent papers including:

  • "Blue and green food webs respond differently to elevation and land use" (2022) in Nature Communications
  • "General principles for assignments of communities from eDNA: Open versus closed taxonomic databases" (2022) in Environmental DNA
  • "Climate, immigration and speciation shape terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity in the European Alps" (2022) in Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • "Warming underpins community turnover in temperate freshwater and terrestrial communities" (2024) in Nature Communications
  • "Temperature regime during embryogenesis alters subsequent behavioural phenotypes of juvenile brown trout" (2022) in Biology Letters

Their coauthors with whom they have frequently collaborated include Ole Seehausen, Blake Matthews, Grégoire Saboret, Kaj Hulthén, and P. Anders Nilsson.

Jakob Brodersen has published in venues such as Nature Communications, Journal of Animal Ecology, Freshwater Biology, Journal of Fish Biology, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Besides journal articles, Brodersen has contributed to book publications with King's College London, including titles like "Collaborative logistics and fierce competition - the path to sustainable freight transport" (2021) and "Bord Dæk Dig:Projekt for fremme af trivsel hos ældre i eget hjem ved optimering af æstetikken og teknologien i madservice" (2020).

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution can open doors to diverse educational and career opportunities. For those interested in the intersection of behavioral science and the environment, clinical psychologist online programs offer flexible routes to careers that investigate both human and animal behavior.

If your passion lies in social impact or working with communities, consider a human services bachelors degree online. This degree can complement an ecology background for roles in environmental advocacy or public health initiatives.

Professionals looking for a shift might explore how to transition from an education background to a related field. For example, paths like teacher to slp (speech-language pathologist) demonstrate how foundational science knowledge is valuable across various disciplines.

Creative thinkers interested in sustainability and design may be drawn to an architecture degree online. Such programs often blend ecological principles with innovative design for green buildings and urban planning.

These online options make it easier to gain specialized skills and transition into meaningful careers that intersect with ecology and evolution.
