Ablation of cell-specific cholesterol synthesis affects cerebral β-amyloidosis
(2023-03-13)Cholesterol, an essential membrane component, among others modifies membrane fluidity and regulates cell signaling. CNS cholesterol metabolism is separated from peripheral cholesterol by specific properties of the ... -
The phosphorus and nitrogen nutrition of European beech under a future warmer and drier climate: climate chamber experiments and transect studies
(2023-03-13)Productivity of temperate forests may increasingly be limited by phosphorus (P) shortage, as indicated by decreasing P concentrations and increasing nitrogen (N):P ratios in leaves and fine roots and reports on recent ... -
Comparing northern German Scots pine plantations with natural beech forests: Soil carbon pools and growth dynamics
(2023-03-10)Forestry in the North German Lowlands has been historically characterized by pine in particular. Apart from pine, beech is one of the most important deciduous tree species in this region and would naturally also be the ... -
The influence of temperature, nutrient availability and soil depth on root exudation in european beech forests
(2023-03-10)The availability of mineral nutrients (i.e. N, P) in unfertilized soils is often not adequate to meet plant demand, which in turn creates a necessity to fulfil the supply requirements from nutrient release from soil organic ... -
Flip - Reading processes when reading mirrored script
(2023-03-03)There is a common consensus that orthographic processing is deeply rooted in the structure of the visual system. One central aspect that is particularly important in visual processing is mirror-generalization, which is the ... -
Alignment-free Phylogenetic Placement and its Applications
(2023-03-03)The study of the evolutionary interrelations of living organisms has been at the heart of biological sciences all along. A revolution in sequencing techniques in the past decades has caused a massive increase in molecular ... -
Regulation of inter-sexual relationships within the microcosm of Guinea baboon units
(2023-03-03)Male reproductive success is linked in most animals to their access to fertile females. Resulting competition among males presents a strong selective pressure on male reproductive strategies. In species with female choice ... -
Unmasking the perception of temporal successions
(2023-03-02)Temporal and masking research share theoretical, methodological and empirical similarities indicating that they might investigate a similar aspect of our neural functioning. Nevertheless, temporal and masking mechanisms ... -
Diversity and Trophic Ecology of Arboreal Spider (Araneae) Assemblages along a Transformation Gradient from Lowland Rainforest to Oil Palm Plantations in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia
(2023-03-02)In chapter 2, I investigated the canopy spider abundance, biomass, richness and community composition across a land-use gradient from tropical lowland rainforest via jungle rubber to monocultures of rubber and oil palm. ... -
AntisenseRNA mediated gene regulation via double stranded RNA formation
(2023-03-01)The flow of genetic information in eukaryotic cells is established through transcription from the nuclear DNA into messenger (m)RNA, which travels into the cytoplasm for translation into proteins, the functional units of ... -
Mental Health Professionals’ Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Practice and usage of Evidence-Based Practices for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Bangladesh and Germany
(2023-02-24)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is recognized as the leading mental health-related cause of the global burden of disease with lifelong effects on affected children and adolescents (Baxter et al., 2015; Li et al., 2022; Lord ... -
Mechanisms of chromosome segregation errors in mammalian oocytes
(2023-02-23)During fertilization, a human embryo needs to inherit precisely one copy of each chromosome from both parents. However, human eggs frequently carry an incorrect number of chromosomes, they are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is the ... -
Mother-infant relationships in wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
(2023-02-16)During infancy, primates are heavily dependent on their mothers for nursing, transport, and thermoregulation, but also benefit from associating with their mothers for protection and social support. Furthermore, the mother ... -
Evaluating morphological and metrical methods for sex estimation on isolated human skeletal material
(2023-02-13)The primary goal of this study is to estimate the sex of human skeletal materials using morphological and metrical methods described in the forensic and anthropological literature with molecular testing performed on Inden ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Frequency Discrimination in the Drosophila Ear
(2023-01-24)Since the first confirmed evidence of potassium ions crossing the membrane to the first cloned and identified potassium channel from Drosophila melanogaster, the studies of potassium channels have extensively broadened our ... -
Effects of Visual Masking and Crowding on Stimulus Visibility and Processing
(2023-01-10)The visibility of visual stimuli can be manipulated by various methods such as visual masking or crowding in such a way that the viewer can no longer identify the stimulus. Despite these circumstances, the stimuli can be ... -
Bagger or Bär? The influence of individual interests on early word learning
(2023-01-03)Young children are remarkable word learners: At the end of the first year of life, typically developing children only produce a handful of words, but their vocabularies grow many times over during the second and third year ... -
Robust phylogenomic inference through genome skimming as demonstrated by a systematic analysis of Nereididae
(2022-12-16)The introduction of massively parallel sequencing in the mid-2000s has truly revolutionized the field of molecular phylogenetics and ultimately our understanding of the tree of life. Despite today's existence of long-read ... -
Exploring the roles of RNAPII in genome organization
(2022-12-16)The role of RNAPII in 3D genome organization has been heavily debated over the last two decades. Here, in situ Hi-C and Micro-C data were used to conclusively address this debate. I discovered that: 1) using cell population ... -
Ecological groups of Collembola in agroecosystems as affected by farm-based management practices
(2022-12-15)Present day agriculture is identified as a main threat to biodiversity. At the same time, the productivity of agricultural systems is relying on ecosystem services provided by biota. In order to conserve critical ecosystem ...
