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 ... -
The nematode-based food-chain of a temperate deciduous forest
(2013-05-13)Soils are complex and heterogeneous habitats for soil animals. Trophic interactions between soil animals are depicted in soil food webs which form an essential component of terrestrial ecosystems. Soil food webs are based ... -
The role of the fine root system in carbon fluxes and carbon allocation patterns of tropical ecosystems along a climate and land-use gradient at Mount Kilimanjaro
(2020-10-13)The combined effects of global warming and land-use conversion to human-modified systems are threatening biodiversity and ecosystem processes maintained by tropical mountains. To assess and predict the impact of global ... -
The soil food web of temperate deciduous forests: litter and root resources as driving factors, and soil fauna effects on ecosystem processes
(2016-12-16)Above- and belowground communities have been investigated independently for long, but there is increasing evidence that both are intimately linked and depend on each other. Plants provide energy and nutrients for the ... -
Towards a unified allometric and stoichiometric perspective in ecology
(2015-09-09)Ecosystem functioning is maintained by the interplay of a multitude of species. However, in a time of global change there are high rates of species extinctions which can drastically reduce the functionality of natural ... -
Tree species as determinants of the structure of oribatid mite communities (Oribatida) and the incorporation of plant carbon and nitrogen in the soil animal food web
(2013-08-23)In this dissertation I investigated the role of tree species for the structure and functioning of soil animal food webs in temperate forests. In the field, the role of tree species diversity as compared to tree species ... -
Tritrophic interactions between Populus tremula, leaf beetles and their natural enemies - from the field to the laboratory
(2011-10-17)A drastic increase of global energy consumption is expected for the following years. Due to the increasing demand for renewable energy, much of the current research focuses on short-rotation ... -
Untersuchung des TGF-β-induzierten Zelltods in oligodendroglialen Kulturen
(2008-02-12)Apoptosis is controlled by complex networks with various interactions between different signalling pathways regarding to extracellular as well as intracellular signals. Thereby, the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β ... -
Vegetation dynamics of the East- European forest-steppe since the Late Glacial: climate, human and fire impact
(2024-03-11)While many studies have documented changes of the northern latitudinal forest limit in Europe and its drivers, little is known about the southern latitudinal limit of the forest towards the steppe in Eastern Europe. ... -
