A short story: senescence in an annual reptile, Labord’s chameleon (Furcifer labordi)
(2020-12-10)Among animals, the fast-slow continuum is the dominant axis that shapes life-history variation. As resources are limited a trade-off occurs between a short lifespan, young age at maturity, high reproductive rates and high ... -
Ancient genetic landscape of archaeological human remains from Panama, South America and Oceania described through STR genotype frequencies and mitochondrial DNA sequences
(2021-12-20)The settlements of the Americas and Oceania are particularly fascinating topics. On the one side is the settlements of Australia and New Guinea (30,000 – 50,000 years ago) were the scenarios of one of the earliest migration ... -
Beeinträchtigung und Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung bei chronischen RückenschmerzpatientInnen
(2009-08-21)Many studies with chronic low-back pain patients have proved how important the extent of disability is concerning the prognosis and the treatment outcome. However, there are different ... -
Behavioral and Feeding Ecology of a Small-bodied Folivorous Primate (Lepilemur leucopus)
(2015-01-13)Small-bodied folivorous primates are rare because processing leaves often requires extensive gut adaptations and lengthy retention times for fiber fermentation. However, Lepilemur leucopus (white-footed sportive lemur) ... -
Biodiversity of true lemurs (Eulemur spp.): - Species delimitation and phylogeography in the brown lemur complex
(2013-09-26)Species are the fundamental units of comparison in all subfields of biology. Moreover, species are the currency of biological classification and used to define areas of conservation priority. Hence, central questions of ... -
Conservation physiology of two closely related, sympatric lemur species, the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius), and the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus)
(2017-10-30)The detrimental effects of human-induced habitat loss and degradation on wildlife are pervasive and represent a primary concern for conservation biologists. Understanding how organisms accurately recognise and respond to ... -
Cooperation and competition in wild male Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in Morocco
(2013-10-07)Mammalian males compete for a non-sharable resource (receptive females) and are typically the dispersing sex, thus cooperation between males may appear counterintuitive. However, if both partners gain mutual benefits from ... -
Determinants and outcomes of group coordination and decision-making in red-fronted lemurs (Eulemur rufifrons)
(2011-10-07)In order to reap the benefits of group-living, gregarious animals have to maintain group cohesion. However, differences among group members in terms of sex, age or physiological constitution ... -
Effects of forest fragmentation on brown spider monkeys (Ateles hybridus) and red howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus)
(2013-09-13)The increasing intensity of anthropogenic land use and conversion has immense impacts on ecosystems worldwide and often results in habitat fragmentation. Fragmentation and other anthropogenic disturbances (e.g. hunting and ... -
Energetics in wild female Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis): a behavioral and physiological approach
(2021-08-16)Energy is a key requirement of life. It is involved in life history traits such as body maintenance, growth and reproduction. Energy is a limiting resource and therefore has to be strategically allocated. When facing an ... -
Environmental and maternal effects on infant development in wild Verreaux´s sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi)
(2021-12-23)Organisms’ life cycles vary tremendously between and within species leading to differences in life histories. Early development plays an important role in the life trajectory of an individual and shapes its entire life. ... -
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 ... -
Evolutionary mechanisms shaping MHC variation in sympatric lemurs
(2016-11-15)The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a multigene cluster characterized by remarkable polymorphism and a complex evolutionary history. The MHC genes assume a central role in the adaptive immune response of vertebrates ... -
Feeding competition in wild female Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2014-09-30)Food is one of the most important resources animals compete over and assessing the way individuals compete over such limiting resources is fundamental to our understanding of the adaptations of living organisms. In mammals, ... -
Female social relationships among wild Assemese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2014-07-14)It has been repeatedly shown that strong, affiliative social relationships (hereafter “social relationships”) are extremely important for human health and well-being. Increasingly there is evidence that non-human species ... -
Foundations of variation in male aggressiveness and tolerance between chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Botswana and Guinea baboons (P. papio) in Senegal
(2014-10-24)The fitness limiting resource for most male primates is the indivisible fertilization of females. Therefore, males commonly compete aggressively with each other over access to receptive females. Among species, however, ... -
Genetische Diversität in der Lichtensteinhöhle – Ableitungen zur Demographie und Interpretationen zu sozialen Strukturen sowie Bestattungssitten in einer bronzezeitlichen Bevölkerung
(2022-03-03)The archaeological part of the Lichtenstein Cave, a gypsum karst cave in the southwestern periphery of the Harz Mountains, was discovered in 1980 and has since been investigated in close, interdisciplinary cooperation. The ... -
Health consequences of group living in wild Verreaux’s sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi)
(2020-07-10)The evolution of sociality exposed individuals to several new health-related costs and benefits, which fundamentally affect their survival and reproductive success. Group living provides better access to food and mates and ... -
Historische Anatomieleichen der Universität Göttingen – Zur Morbidität einer Bevölkerungsgruppe des 19. Jahrhunderts
(2019-07-29)The work presented here deals with the results of the study on the morbidity frequencies of a population group of the 19th century In 2011, human remains of 159 individuals were recovered in a partial excavation on the ... -
Immature development in wild Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
(2016-10-11)Relationships between adult attributes and lifetime fitness have been previously explored in numerous studies, but although many adult attributes diversify during childhood or even prenatally, and although lifetime fitness ...
