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, ... -
Impacts of landscape fragmentation on red deer (<i>Cervus elaphus</i>) and European wildcat (<i>Felis silvestris silvestris</i>): a nation-wide landscape genetic analysis
(2022-04-14)All around the globe, species biodiversity is threatened by landscape fragmentation and habitat loss. The consequences of these two processes are manifold and they can result in loss of ecosystem functions and extinction ... -
Integrating behavior, hormones and genes associated with the primate HPA-axis
(2019-04-17)For zoologists, and especially primatologists, it has been a longstanding aim to decipher the causes of individual variability. Phenotypes associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis, a central physiological ... -
Mating systems and infant care of cooperatively breeding black-fronted tamarins (Leontocebus nigrifrons)
(2020-04-21)In animal societies, individual fitness partly depends on a decision on whether or not to provide parental care, and the number of mating partners. The later defines a social mating system, whereas consequences of copulations, ... -
Metagenomics in One Health — from standardization to targeted application
(2020-04-21)This thesis is meant to further the applicability of metagenomics in One Health by discussing key forms of standardization, as well as targeted applications. Metagenomics is a powerful pathogen-agnostic tool, allowing for ... -
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 ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Biopolymer-degrading Microbial Communities in the Intestinal Tract of Beavers
(2019-05-09)The mammalian gut harbors a complex and specialized microbiota, which includes all tree domains of life (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya). Bacteria are the most abundant group within the gut system, and they take part in ... -
The Evolution of the Australian Amitermes group
(2022-04-05)Although the Australian Amitermes Group (AAG) is the most diverse and speciose group of higher termites (Termitidae) in Australia, relatively little is known about the origin and evolution of the group. Recent phylogenetic ...
