Overview

Klaus Anger is affiliated with the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with particular attention to crustacean biology and ecology, as well as marine and fisheries research. Within these areas, their work also covers disciplines such as ecology, global and planetary change, aquatic science, physiology, and evolutionary biology.

The main topics of Klaus Anger's research include:

  • Crustacean biology and ecology
  • Marine and fisheries research
  • Aquaculture nutrition and growth
  • Reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species
  • Cephalopods and marine biology
  • Coral and marine ecosystems studies
  • Marine biology and ecology research

Klaus Anger has published research in several scientific journals, including Revista Nerítica, Zoology, and Crustaceana. Their recent publications are as follows:

  • "Size structure, sex ratio, and breeding season in two intertidal grapsid crab species from Mar Chiquita Lagoon, Argentina," 2022, Revista Nerítica
  • "Effects of short-term and continuous exposure to reduced salinities on the biochemical composition of larval lobster, Homarus gammarus," 2020, Zoology
  • "Evolutionary transitions of decapod crustaceans to non-marine, polar, and deep-sea environments: developmental, physiological and biochemical adaptations," 2024, Crustaceana

Throughout their career, Klaus Anger has collaborated frequently with a number of co-authors. These include Ole Sten Møller, Guillermo Guerao, Eduardo D. Spivak, Claudia C. Bas, and Tomás Luppi.
