Untersuchung zu den Konsequenzen von Sozialer Reaktionsfähigkeit auf Führungsverhalten mittels eines interaktiven, biomimetischen Roboterfisches

Bierbach, David, Dr. phil. nat. (Biology and Ecology of Fishes)

Duration of Project: 06/2016 - 05/2019

Individuen können sich konsistent darin unterscheiden, wie sie auf ihr soziales Umfeld reagieren. Diese Unterschiede können sich auf das soziale Zusammenspiel innerhalb von Gruppen auswirken, beispielsweise auf Führungsverhalten. Individuen können da ...

Adaptive distributed collective decision making of bio-inspired robotic swarms (EXC 2002 SCIoI P 27)

Romanczuk, Pawel, Dr. (Junior Research Groups)

Duration of Project: 08/2020 - 07/2023

The project investigates collective decision making in spatially distributed systems inspired by the behavior of biological collectives. Here, we are particularly interested in the ability of agents to change their social decision behavior and their ...

Collective Adaptation and Learning in Fish Schools EXC 2002 SCoI P 11

Romanczuk, Pawel, Dr. (Junior Research Groups)

Duration of Project: 06/2019 - 08/2022

The main objective is to understand the benefits of grouping for collective cognition in fish schools, in particular the specific role of group size and group diversity for collective dynamical adaptation and learning. A specific focus of the project ...

COUPLED. Operationalising telecouplings for solving sustainability challenges related to land use

Nielsen, Jonas Ostergaard, Prof. Dr. (Cultural and Social Geography)

Duration of Project: 01/2018 - 12/2021

COUPLED is a four-year, European Training Network granted by the EC in Horizon 2020. We put the research approach of TELECOUPLING into action for solving sustainability challenges for land use. How to understand processes and actors that influence la ...

Deciphering the First Complete Mitochondrial Genomes From Appendicularia (Chordata: Tunicate)

Stach, Thomas, PD Dr. (Molecular Parasitology II)

Duration of Project: 01/2019 - 12/2021

The phylogenetic position of Appendicularia might be crucial for the understanding of the evolution of early vertebrates. The aim of our project is to sequence complete mitochondrial genomes in order to substantiate hypotheses concerning the phylogen ...

Fröbisch, Nadia, Prof. Dr. (Development and Evolution)

Duration of Project: 01/2019 - 12/2020

An understanding of the mechanisms underlying the regenerative programs of limb/fin and tail regeneration in vertebrates are for obvious reasons of great interest and a major research focus of the fields of molecular biology and regenerative medicine ...

Learning of Intelligent Swarm Behavior - EXC 2002 SCoI P 12

Romanczuk, Pawel, Dr. (Junior Research Groups)

Duration of Project: 06/2019 - 08/2022

The main objective of the project is to systematic quantification of collective behavior of fish in order to derive data-driven models of observed collective behavior across different ecological contexts. Here, two important ecological contexts shall ...

Moving from pattern towards process for improved forecasts of species range dynamics

Zurell, Damaris, Dr. (Biogeography)

Duration of Project: 01/2019 - 12/2020

On Adaptation: An Integrative Study of Jumping Behaviour and Functional Morphology of the Hind Limb in Callitrichid Primates As Model System

Nyakatura, John, Prof. Dr. (Morphology (Zoology) and Form History)

Duration of Project: 12/2016 - 09/2021

RTG 2046/2: “Parasite Infections: From Experimental Models to Natural Systems”

Matuschewski, Kai, Prof. Dr. (Molecular Parasitology II)

Duration of Project: 10/2019 - 03/2024

Parasites cause serious, health-depriving, disabling diseases affecting people and animals alike. These pathogens are globally distributed, prevalent, heterogeneous and extremely complex. There is a necessity and growing demand for interdisciplinaril ...

Structural Flexibility in the Optical Design of the Arthropod Cornea

Scholtz, Gerhard, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. (Comparative Zoology)

Duration of Project: 11/2016 - 10/2019

The arthropod cuticle is a versatile bio-composite made of chitin fibers embedded in a protein matrix. The cuticle also forms the cornea of the arthropod compound eye – a characteristic feature of the phylum that has largely contributed to its incred ...

The life cycles of parasitic worms - from macro-evolutionary patterns to the genetics of adaptation

Benesh, Daniel, Dr. (Molecular Parasitology)

Duration of Project: 05/2019 - 04/2022

Many parasites have complex life cycles in which they infect multiple hosts in succession before reproducing. These life cycles are perplexing, because they seem risky. As the number of consecutive hosts in a life cycle increases, so does the risk of ...
