Mating behaviour of a wild olive baboon population (Papio anubis) infected by Treponema pallidum
(2020-10-01)According to the World Health Organization (2019), more than one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide in the human population. These infections can have serious reproductive health ... -
Microsatellites and Genetic Variation in Two Members of the African Papionini
(2023-03-31)The importance of genetic variation for the fitness and viability of populations and species has been shown in many studies over the last decades. However, the way to determine such genetic variation has changed and evolved ... -
Molecular Analysis of Centipede Predation
(2013-09-30)Soil food webs are an essential part of terrestrial ecosystem functioning and characterised by a high degree of cross linkage between the members of a highly diverse soil community. Centipedes are abundant predators in the ... -
Mycorrhizal fungi in deciduous forests of differing tree species diversity and their role for nutrient transfer
(2014-07-25)Mycorrhizal fungi are forming EcM on beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and AM on ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and are an important component of several ecosystem processes in forests. One main functional role is nutrient acquisition, ... -
Nemoral European Beech and Oak Forests under Climate Change
(2023-05-16)Global warming and increasing drought severity are exposing temperate forests to higher stress levels, challenging forest management in the 21st century. With a projected warming by 2–3 K until 2070, silvicultural adaptation ... -
Nitrogen response efficiency, nitrogen retention efficiency, and asymbiotic biological nitrogen fixation of a temperate permanent grassland site under different sward compositions and management practices
(2013-02-15)Human activity had a huge impact on the global nitrogen (N) cycle in the last decades, mainly through an increase in the production of reactive N. In European grasslands, the increased use of N fertilizers was accompanied ... -
Origin and properties of microbial hotspots in top- and subsoil
(2016-07-04)Microbial hotspots, defined by increased abundance and activity of microorganisms make up only a small percentage of the total soil volume but most microbially-mediated biogeochemical processes that are relevant for ... -
Palynological studies and Holocene ecosystem dynamics in north western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region
(2016-04-28)Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (31°49´N, 70°55´E to 35°50´N, 71°47´E) is located in north western Pakistan in south Asia. The Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan lies to its west, Indian Himalayas to the northeast and Karakorum Mountains ... -
Phylogeography and impact of hybridization on the evolution of African green monkeys (Chlorocebus Gray, 1870)
(2013-06-04)The evolution of the current global biodiversity has been profoundly influenced by climatic and environmental changes over the past million years. While there is an obvious impact of Quaternary climate changes and glacial ... -
Phylogeography in sexual and parthenogenetic European oribatida
(2011-01-20)Oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) are a species rich group which may form the oldest group of Chelicerata, as indicated by fossils from Devonian sediment (~380 million years) and molecular ... -
Plant diversity and landscape-scale effects on multitrophic interactions involving invertebrates
(2018-11-12)Biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems is declining due to increasing anthropogenic pressure. Urban and agricultural expansion lead to shrinking natural or seminatural habitats. In addition, management intensification of ... -
Plant species and global change agents as driving factors of rhizosphere processes and soil nematode communities
(2013-03-19)The soil system harbors important ecosystem functions. Understanding the factors influencing the functioning of soil systems is crucial to react adequately on changes induced by alteration in plant species compositions and ... -
Pollination ecology and spatial genetic population structure of wild and cultivated species of cacao (Theobroma) in Bolivia
(2014-03-19)Tropical forest in southwestern Amazonia is threatened by increasing human populations, economic exploitation, deforestation and burning activities for cattle raising and agriculture. Tropical rainforests are characterized ... -
Prey preferences of the Persian leopard and trophic competition with human hunters in Iran
(2016-09-14)Poaching is a global environmental threat, which drives populations of many species toward extinction. Current levels of poaching are unsustainable, causing substantial impacts on ecosystems and wildlife. By poaching, ... -
Prospects for climate change mitigation of Scots pine and European beech forests
(2022-06-03)The historic large-scale forest conversion in the northern German lowlands resulted in a man-made dominance of Scots pine, in a landscape that would naturally be dominated by forests of European beech. Since drawbacks of ... -
Resilience of Earthworm and Soil Microbial Communities to Agricultural Intensification and Climatic Extremes - A Case Study in the North German Lowlands
(2023-05-16)High demands for agricultural goods such as food, fiber and fodder and at the same time a decreasing farmland area result in an ongoing intensification of agricultural production. This is accompanied by high environmental ... -
Respone of tree-ring width and regeneration in conifer forests of Mongolia to climate warming and land use
(2013-07-19)This thesis presents research results from isolated larch forest islands at high altitude (ca. 2300 m a.s.l.) in the Altai Mountain, which are used for mobile livestock husbandry. In addition, investigations from the central ... -
Response of European beech to decreasing summer precipitation under global climate change
(2016-07-15)Global warming-related summer precipitation reduction represents a major threat on tree vitality and persistence and hence on forest productivity over large parts of the temperate zone. European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) ... -
Seasonal habitat use and breeding performance of the Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) in Central European farmland
(2022-06-21)The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union has often been identified as a driver of recent agricultural intensification and thus of biodiversity loss. All major taxa, including vascular plants, arthropods, ... -
Soil animal food webs in temperate forests: effects of forest management on trophic structure as indicated by molecular gut content, stable isotope and fatty acid analyses
(2015-01-19)The soil system comprises a high diversity of coexisting species interacting in close association. Generally, soil animals are assumed to be trophic generalists feeding on resources of even different trophic levels. The ...
