The benefit of collaboration: Disentangling the sources of synergy in group judgments
(2022-02-11)The performance of groups is often seen skeptical because in many tasks, groups seem to be unable to reach their full potential. However, recent research points to one task domain, where the implementation of groups might ... -
The butterfly community of a managed West African rainforest: patterns of habitat specificity, diversity, stratification and movement.
(2002-09-30)Fruit trapping, standardised transect walks and point distance sampling were used to study the butterfly fauna of a managed, over-logged rainforest in south-eastern Côte d"Ivoire, West ... -
The Chemical Ecology of Primate Seed Dispersal
(2016-04-06)Many tropical angiosperms rely on frugivores for seed dispersal and evolved fleshy fruits to attract them. Although both sides of the interaction are generalists, frugivores do not feed on the full range of fruit species ... -
The complex formation of RNase P and RNase MRP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2024-03-06)Ribonucleoproteins comprise a class of complexes that consist of RNAs and proteins. Riobozymes are catalytically active ribonucleoproteins that play a key role in the maturation of various RNAs. A prominent example is ... -
The Consequences of Disregarding Advice in Judge-Advisor Systems
(2017-07-24)Research on advice giving and taking in the judge-advisor system (JAS) has focused on judges' attitudes and behavior. Advisors have not received much attention. Therefore, little is known about whether and how advisors' ... -
The conservation biology of the leopard (Panthera pardus)in Gabon
(2009-06-23)The leopard (Panthera pardus) has the greatest geographic distribution of the wild cats, and is the most abundant large felid in Africa. Tropical rainforests comprise a large part of ... -
The costs and benefits of sociality in semi-free ranging Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)
(2019-03-04)Parasite infections are ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, and increased risk of parasite transmission has been suggested as one of the major costs of group living. With bigger group size and higher interaction ... -
The development of an integrated database of the model organism Bacillus subtilis
(2016-01-25)In the era of “Omics” approaches, the available data is exponentially increasing and new methods must be invented to handle this data. For this purpose, databases store, maintain and provide the data, and algorithms ... -
The Development of Recursive Meta-Representational Theory of Mind
(2023-06-02)Domain-general theories of Theory of Mind development assume that the ability to understand mental states (representations) as such is based on a fundamental understanding of representa-tions as representations ... -
The Diversity of TLR4-triggered Responses in Mouse Microglia
(2010-10-08)Microglia are the major immunocompetent effector cells of the CNS. Steadily monitoring their neighborhood they are always ready to transform to activated states upon encounters with ... -
The dual role of MTG3 during human mitoribosome biogenesis
(2024-12-05)Mitochondria are the main energy provider of the cell, and because of the endosymbiotic event they arise from, still contain a small independent genome. Only with the vast ATP production through the mitochondrial OXPHOS ... -
The E2F1-responsive microRNA-449 promotes apoptosis
(2011-07-22)E2F1 is a positive regulator of cell cycle progression and also a potent inducer of apoptosis, especially when activated by DNA damage. To identify E2F1-inducible microRNAs, I performed ... -
The early Development of the Germline in Drosophila melanogaster
(2018-12-14)The germline cells are of fundamental importance for all animals as they have the ability to give rise to the next generation. Their precursors, the primordial germ cells (PGCs), are determined very early during animal ... -
The Ecology of the Red Rainbowfish (Glossolepis incisus) and the Impact of Human Activities on Its Habitats in Lake Sentani, Papua
(2013-10-04)Summary Located in the western half of New Guinea, Papua is facing rapid and poorly-planned social and economic development, increasing habitat degradation and threatening its high level of species richness and endemicity. ... -
The effect of the mycorrhizal type on root-rhizosphere interactions in AM and ECM tree species: field studies and mesocosm experiments
(2019-02-20)Based on the two main types of mycorrhizal associations in temperate forests, which are arbuscular (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (ECM), the idea of a mycorrhizal-associated nutrient economy framework developed (Phillips et al., ... -
The effect of visible skin condition on the perception of female facial age, health, and attractiveness
(2011-09-14)Evolutionary psychologists argue that humans have evolved preferences for those facial features that signal health and fertility and thus facilitate mate selection. While there is ample ... -
The effects of climate change on fine root dynamics in a Norway spruce forest
(2008-10-06)Because of methodological restrictions, exact quantifications of the carbon sink strength of fine root systems are not available for mature forests. However, for assessing the effects ... -
The effects of ovulatory cycle shifts in steroid hormones on women's mate preferences and attraction
(2018-10-02)Do women’s mate preferences and attraction change across the ovulatory cycle? This is a central question in human evolutionary sciences. Psychological changes, especially shifting mate preferences, across the ovulatory ... -
The enzymatic product of SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatases supports the fitness of BCR-dependent Burkitt lymphoma cells by promoting the energy metabolism
(2023-11-23)Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressively growing neoplasm owing to an over expression of the MYC oncogene and exploitation of the tonic B cell receptor (BCR) signaling for its survival. While it is known that the survival ... -
The establishment and characterization of an improved cell-free assay for exocytosis in neuroendocrine PC12 cells
(2005-11-04)Regulated exocytosis in neurons and neuroendocrine cells is mediated by the SNARE proteins synaptobrevin/VAMP, SNAP-25, and syntaxin 1. During fusion, these SNAREs form a stable complex ...
