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 ... -
Spatial variation of photosynthetic capacity of early-, mid-, or late-successional broad-leaved tree species in a temperate mixed forest
(2013-03-22)Forests are important not only as a habitat for animal and plant species, but also for economy, protection of soil, local recreation areas and they provide air-purification. Forests which were earlier almost solely ... -
Species-specific fine root biomass, morphology and dynamics of six co-occurring deciduous tree species in the Hainich National Park and a conifer tree species at the alpine treeline
(2016-09-02)This thesis is subdivided into two main research areas. The first two studies were conducted in a mature mixed temperate broad leaved forest with regard to species identity effects on fine root traits, while the third study ... -
Spread and performance of European earthworms invading North America as indicated by molecular markers and climate chamber experiments
(2018-10-15)European lumbricid earthworms were introduced into northern North America by European settlers about 400 years ago. They are invasive across the continent and cause notable changes in native forest ecosystems. Human-mediated ... -
Structure of and carbon flux through soil food webs of temperate grassland as affected by land use management
(2014-11-06)In Europe grasslands are among the most important agricultural systems. They are subject to continuous management intensification, which is potentially threatening ecosystem services. Since soil comprises the largest ... -
Structure, Productivity and Carbon Storage of Primeval European Beech Forests
(2018-06-06)A major part of the potential natural vegetation of central Europe consists of European beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.). Beech is one of the most important broadleaf tree species for forestry within its distribution ... -
Studies on late Quaternary environmental dynamics (vegetation, biodiversity, climate, soils, fire and human impact) on Mt Kilimanjaro
(2013-09-10)Sediments of buried soils from different key areas at Mt Kilimanjaro are studied to reconstruct former and to predict future landscape dynamics on Mt Kilimanjaro. This contributes to a better understanding of local and ... -
Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Leaf Monkeys (Colobinae) with Focus on the Genus Presbytis (Eschscholtz, 1821)
(2012-08-07)Leaf monkeys (Colobinea) constitute a very diverse group of primates with major radiations inAfrica and Asia. Among the langur group, Presbytis constitutes a particular diverse taxon. Based on molecular biological and ... -
Taxonomy and Phylogeny of the Liverwort Genus Thysananthus (Marchantiophyta; Lejeuneaceae)
(2011-06-23)A systematic study of the liverwort genus Thysananthus, especially the subgenus Thysananthus, based on the results of morphological-anatomical, phytochemical and molecular phylogenetic ... -
Taxonomy, phylogeny and distribution of tamarins (genus Saguinus, Hoffannsegg 1807)
(2012-01-09)The Callitrichinae are small bodied New World primates, including two of the most diverse groups of primates, the marmosets (genera Callithrix and Mico) and tamarins (genus Sa-guinus). So ... -
Terrestrial laser scanning- applications in forest ecological research
(2011-02-24)The increasing relevance of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of forest canopies for current research tasks, especially in ecology, generates a rising need for instruments offering ... -
The assembly of island floras from a macroecological perspective.
(2019-01-24)Islands have always played a central role in ecology and biogeography. On the one hand, island biotas are ecologically unique by featuring exceptionally high rates of endemism and remarkable evolutionary adaptations while ... -
The confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum A model for investigating Wolbachia-host interactions
(2022-07-20)Summary Wolbachia, a group of maternally inherited intracellular endosymbiotic Alphaproteobacteria, are found in a wide range of arthropods and nematodes. It has been estimated that over 65% of insect species are infected ... -
The evolution of the head appendages in marine bristle worms
(2023-12-15)Annelida can be found in all kind of habitats and thus show a huge diversity in form, size, and colour. A key structure for their evolutionary success and adaptability to their individual lifestyles are the head appendages. ... -
The imapct of drought and climate warming on Central European broad-leaved mixed forests
(2016-08-10)Climate warming is predicted to increase the frequency and severity of droughts in Central Europe through increasing temperatures and regional changes in the precipitation regime. Fagus sylvatica (European beech), the ... -
The influence of land-use intensification and biodiversity on grassland biomass, water use and plant functional traits
(2012-01-19)Agricultural intensification has transformed most grasslands of Central and Western Europe from extensive to highly intensive management during the last 50 years, resulting in a strong ... -
The late holocene history of vegetation, climate, fire dynamics and human impacts in Java and Southern Kalimantan
(2016-09-14)Detailed analysis of past environmental, climate and land use history in the Indonesian region is essential to obtain better understanding of human-environment relationships and to prevent uncertainties in future development ... -
The Macroecology of Island Floras
(2014-12-09)Marine islands harbour a great part of our planet’s biological diversity and a high proportion of endemic species. However, island biota are particularly susceptible to anthropogenic threats like climate change, habitat ...
