Klaus Reinhardt

I am interested in sperm evolution, sperm ecology and sperm metabolism. I am also interested in insects, such as the lovely bedbugs (see here for a youtube video that brings them closer to you than you may everwish to be).The crown is obviously to combine both topics. Publications and citations are here. And here, too. Research Interests are here. Within our lab, three subgroups follow somewhat separate strings of research with hopefully and ever increasing tendency to connect them – Sperm Biology and Mito-Nuclear Interactions, and Spermatognesis. Also, I have a faible for Cultural Entomology.
