[PROJECT] EARL - The effect of emergent compounds and climate change in aquatic organisms with different early life history strategies
ID: 274308
Start date: 2011-08-01, End date: 2013-07-31
"A present challenge in global change research is to determine and understand how multiple environmental stressors combine to affect individuals, populations and ecosystems. In the marine habitat, stressors appear to strongly affect the larval stages. Most aquatic animals dev...

[PROJECT] Synaptic ER - Understanding mechanisms regulating endoplasmic reticulum dynamics in hippocampal synaptic plasticity
ID: 274729
Start date: 2011-06-06, End date: 2014-08-05
Dendritic spines are microdomains with dynamic distribution of ionotropic glutamate receptors and associated proteins involved in synaptic transmission. In the hippocampus, two forms of long-lasting changes in synaptic activity — long-term potentiation and long-term depressio...

[PROJECT] Myxozoa Evo Devo - Evolution and development in Myxozoa: body-plan simplification associated with endoparasitism
ID: 272772
Start date: 2011-06-01, End date: 2013-05-31
Myxozoa are endoparasitic animals that exploit invertebrates and fish. Their phylogenetic position has long been controversial. However, recent placement within Cnidaria makes it clear that myxozoans have undergone astonishing morphological simplification associated with the ...

[PROJECT] Teaching in ants - Efficiency and regulation of teaching under environmental constaints
ID: 274342
Start date: 2012-01-23, End date: 2014-04-30
In many animal species, individuals acquire information from others. Until recently, however, there was no evidence for teaching in non-human animals. Now teaching has been shown in a small but diverse group of animals, all of them social. Teaching, according to the definitio...
