Site factors determining epiphytic lichen distribution in a dieback-affected spruce-fir forest on Whiteface Mountain, New York
(2002-08-14)Epiphytic lichen distribution on the trunks of living and dead Picea rubens as well as on the trunks of living and dead Abies balsamea and its dependency on chemical and microclimatic site ... -
SNARE assembly and regulation on membranes
(2006-08-01)The fusion of synaptic vesicles with the pre-synaptic plasma membrane is mediated by SNARE proteins. This work provides key insights into the behaviour of synaptobrevin, the SNARE protein ... -
SNAREs in evoked and spontaneous neurotransmission
(2010-02-04)The SNARE-complex consisting of synaptobrevin-2, SNAP-25, and syntaxin-1 is necessary for evoked synaptic transmission, but the involvement of the extended SNARE- bundle in different phases ... -
Social and Physical Cognition in Old World Monkeys - A Comparative Perspective
(2012-08-01)Primates have brains that are approximately twice as large as those of other similarly-sized mammals. Furthermore, also within the primate order brains have not only become increasingly large, but have also revealed ... -
Social information sampling and decision-making: An evolutionary and ontogenetic perspective
(2023-05-16)An advantage of being a group-living-, as opposed to a solitary-species, is having the opportunity to engage with conspecifics in mutually beneficial cooperative activities. Choice of cooperation partner often decides ... -
Social organisation and mating system of the fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox)
(2012-09-24)Mammalian mating systems are closely related to the social organisation of a species, which in turn is determined by sex-specific selection pressures with respect to access to limited resources. In previous studies of ... -
Social organisation of the narrow-striped mongoose (Mungotictis decemlineata) in Kirindy Forest C.N.F.E.R.E.F., Madagascar
(2016-02-16)The diversity of ecological and behavioural adaptations of the Carnivora makes them an exemplary group for studying patterns of mammalian social evolution. In particular, species displaying sex-specific forms of social ... -
Social Perception of Dance Movements
(2015-10-09)Bees do it, birds do it, and humans do it too – they dance. But what is the function of dance? The answer to this question is not trivial and has kept researchers busy for decades. It is certainly premature to conclude ... -
Social relationships of female Guinea baboons (Papio papio) in Senegal
(2017-08-02)Biologists and psychologists have held a long-term fascination for understanding sex-specific life history behaviours. Selection pressures occur via three main evolutionary mechanisms which may influence males and females ... -
Social relationships: key to gut microbiome composition in wild redfronted lemurs?
(2022-03-03)The gut microbiome consists of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of an animal and plays a pivotal role in the health of the host. This microbial community is highly dynamic ... -
Social tolerance: novel insights from wild female crested macaques, Macaca nigra
(2013-09-24)Sociality is ultimately beneficial for individuals. Social relationships amongst individuals are viewed as long-term investments, influencing individual fitness. Analyses of the costs (competition) and benefits (cooperation) ... -
Soil developments in salt marshes and on artificial islands in the Wadden Sea
(2018-08-31)Salt marshes are located at the interface between marine and terrestrial ecosystems and inhabited by a unique and highly adapted flora and fauna. Requiring a moderate tidal range, salt marshes are characterised by a typical ... -
Soil fauna in lowland rainforest and agricultural systems of Sumatra: Changes in community composition and trophic structure with focus on Collembola
(2022-02-17)Rainforest conversion to agricultural plantations such as rubber and oil palm in Indonesia is increasing in the last decades. In this thesis, I investigated effects of rainforest conversion to rubber and oil palm plantations ... -
Soil protists in tropical systems: From morphological variation to trophic groups
(2022-03-17)In the studies of this thesis, I used two different approaches to shed light on soil protist diversity and ecology in two tropical regions, the montane rainforest of Southern Ecuador and the lowland rainforest of Sumatra, ... -
Sozial vermittelte Lernprozesse bei quantitativen Schätzaufgaben
(2017-05-10)The present thesis investigates social learning processes in quantitative estimation tasks with a focus on two different social contexts. The first part concentrates on interacting groups and examines G-I transfer, which ... -
Spatial and temporal aspects of PI(4,5)P<sub>2</sub> and SNAREs in exocytosis studied using isolated membrane sheets and capacitance measurements
(2006-02-09)Ca2+-triggered exocytosis is a highly regulated process and the proteinaceous machinery mediating and regulating it has been studied in detail over the last decade. However, the participation ... -
Spatial and temporal dependencies of the motion bridging effect: Investigations of an illusory motion
(2020-05-27)The Motion Bridging Effect (MBE) is a visual illusion in which a motion that is not consciously visible creates a visible illusionary movement in a preceding or succeeding stationary ring of points. In the initial MBE study ... -
Spatial Cue-Priming: Effects of Masked Cue Stimuli on Endogenous Visual Spatial Attention
(2013-10-09)Recent research in cognitive neuroscience has examined the relationship of consciousness and attention. On the one hand, it remains a debated topic whether attention is a necessary precondition for consciousness; on the ... -
Spatial Distortions in Visual Short-Term Memory
(2002-01-30)Two-dimensional topographic maps represent a major coding principle for spatial information in the primate brain. In principle, neuronal maps can be subject to systematic distortion caused ... -
Spatial vegetation ecology: Understanding the ecosystem processes that influence plant diversity patterns at different spatial scales
(2019-09-10)The present thesis is based on a set of 16 peer-reviewed publications originating from ecological research work aimed at understanding how ecosystem processes may influence plant diversity patterns at different spatial ...
