(1998)Die spektakulärste unter den rund 270000 bekannten Blütenpflanzen ist vermutlich <em>Amorphophallus titanum</em>: Als dunkel purpurfarbige Fontäne entfaltet er eine bis über drei Meter hohe übelriechende Blume - so groß, ... -
The purity of sacred lotus: superhydrophobic self‑cleaning plant surfaces and the consequences revisited
(2026-02-22)<strong><em>Main conclusion</em> Superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning (Lotus Effect) came only in focus of research after 1997. Botanic systematic studies led to a paradigm shift in materials science and numerous technical ... -
Die Selbstreinigungsfähigkeit pflanzlicher Oberflächen durch Epicuticularwachse
(1991)Pflanzliche Oberflächen (z.B. Blätter) sind häufig durch mikroskopische epicuticulare Wachsausscheidungen für Wasser unbenetzbar. Es wurde nachgewiesen, daß abperlende Regentropfen partikuläre Depositionen, deren Adhaesion ... -
Cooperative coding of continuous variables in networks with sparsity constraint
(2025-07-03)A hallmark of biological and artificial neural networks is that neurons tile the range of continuous sensory inputs and intrinsic variables with overlapping responses. It is characteristic for the underlying recurrent ... -
Low and facultative mycorrhization of ferns in a low-montane tropical rainforest in Ecuador
(2025-07-08)Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are amongst the most studied obligate plant symbionts and regularly found in terrestrial plants. However, global estimates of AMF abundance amongst all land plants are difficult because ... -
From classrooms to real-world contexts: enhancing vaccine education through open schooling
(2025-01-29)The topic of vaccination has been a highly debated issue for many years, whether related to measles, HPV, or the recent COVID-19 pandemic. It necessitates deeper exploration, particularly in school biology classes where ... -
Understanding student engagement in vaccination education: An interview-based multi-stakeholder study
(2024-12-06)The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of informed decision-making, especially concerning vaccination for disease prevention. This highlights the need for scientific literacy, trust, and understanding of ... -
Plant mitochondrial RNA editing factors can perform targeted C-to-U editing of nuclear transcripts in human cells
(2022-09-15)RNA editing processes are strikingly different in animals and plants. Up to thousands of specific cytidines are converted into uridines in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria whereas up to millions of adenosines are converted ... -
Intrasexual selection: Kin competition increases male-male territorial aggression in a monogamous cichlid fish
(2020-09-12)During intrasexual competition, individuals of the same sex compete for access to breeding sites and mating partners, often accompanied by aggressive behavior. Kin selection theory predicts different kin-directed social ... -
Population size estimates based on the frequency of genetically assigned parent–offspring pairs within a subsample
(2020-07-24)Estimating population density as precise as possible is a key premise for managing wild animal species. This can be a challenging task if the species in question is elusive or, due to high quantities, hard to count. We ...
