Reconciling Molecular with Biological and Morphological Data Towards an Integrative Analysis of the Evolutionary Biology of Chafers
(2018-03-20)
The research constituting this thesis acts at the interface of multiple disciplines related to biodiversity, combining data from morphology, genetics, geography, and ecology. Seven independent chapters (chapter II – chapter ...
The relevance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells during Litomosoides sigmodontis infection
(2018-05-23)
68 million people are infected with lymphatic filariasis (LF) in Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia and South America, causing a major health problem with economic repercussions among the infected populations. This disease ......
The interplay of differentially γ-carboxylated vitamin K dependent proteins constitute variable VKCFD1 phenotypes
(2021-11-18)
Vitamin K dependent coagulation factor deficiency type 1 (VKCFD1) is a rare hereditary bleeding disorder caused by mutations in γ-Glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX). VKCFD1 patients are treated with high dose of vitamin K, ...
Detection of Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and biofilm experiments in four different cooling towers (construction and biocide treatment) and evaluation of IDEXX most probable number methods in industrial water samples
(2021-11-30)
The responsible maintenance of evaporative cooling systems is an essential element in reducing the risk of the environmental dispersion of legionellae and Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks. In Germany, the 42nd Ordinance ......
Glial dysfunction in the pathology of temporal lobe epilepsy
(2023-05-30)
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by periods of transient abnormal electrical brain activity, which manifests as behavioral symptoms known as epileptic seizures. Despite intense research, the underlying ...

Interesse an Insekten fördern: Eine Design-Based Research Studie mit Jugendlichen
(2023-02-23)
Um den Herausforderungen des Rückgangs von Insekten zu begegnen ist es von Bedeutung, das Interesse an Insekten zu fördern. Interesse ist eine wichtige Lernvoraussetzung und zentral für die Bereitschaft, Biodiversität zu ...
Biodiversity patterns of herbivore scarab chafers of Sri Lanka with particular reference to DNA based species delimitation, taxonomy, morphospace, and assemblage composition (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
(2022-11-15)
Describing and analysing biodiversity and its major patters is key to investigate the underlying processes and causes of diversification. Biodiversity analysis requires proper species inference, knowledge of species ...
Expanding the understanding of peptidoglycan turnover in Chlamydiae: biosynthesis, degradation and recycling
(2023-03-29)
The obligate intracellular chlamydiae evolved mechanisms to persist inside their host and to evade the host immune system, making them intriguing and highly successful pathogens. This work aimed to asses how these strategies ...
