Björn Rulik

Affiliated Scientist [seeking work]

I studied biology at Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University Greifswald and graduated with a diploma in biology (major: zoology; minors: biochemistry & ecology) in March 2003. During main studies at Zoological Institute and Museum Greifswald I came across with micro-flies (Diptera: Sciaridae ) and I am still fascinated by them. After finishing university I worked on different topics at the Department of Palaeontology & Historical Geology [German Archive of Glacial Erratic Boulders] and at the Botanical Institute and Botanical Garden [Protostelids and Myxomycetes (Eumycetozoa)]. In 2005 I came back to my dipterous passion and started as Scientific Trainee at Museum of Zoology Dresden with main focus on some families of so called “Fungus Gnats” (Diptera: Sciaroidea) and held the deputyship of Diptera section in 2008. Currently, I am interested in the diversity of Holarctic “Fungus Gnats”.
