Bastian Mähler. Steinmann-Institut für Geologie, Mineralogie und Paläontologie, Universität Bonn, Nussallee 8, 53115 Bonn, Germany. bastian.maehler@uni-bonn.de
The research interest of Bastian Mähler are actuo palaeontological studies of taphonomy. Since 2012 he is studying the decomposition process of small mammals under aquatic conditions with a focus on micro-computed tomography and 3D-reconstruction. In addition, he is interested in decomposition processes, especially insect interactions with carcasses.
