Abstract: Inbreeding avoidance and asymmetric competition over resources have both been identified as factors favoring the evolution of sex-biased dispersal. It has also been recognized that sex-specific costs of dispersal would select for sex-biased dispersal, but there is little quantitative information on this aspect. In this paper we explore (i) the quantitative relationship between cost-asymmetry and a bias in dispersal, (ii) the influence of demographic stochasticity on this effect, and (iii) how inbreeding and cost-asymmetry interact in their effect on sex-specific dispersal. We adjust an existing analytical model to account for sex-specific costs of dispersal. Based on numerical calculations we predict a severe bias in dispersal already for small differences in dispersal costs. We corroborate these predictions in individual-based simulations, but show that demographic stochasticity generally leads to more balanced dispersal. In combination with inbreeding, cost asymmetries will usually determine which of the two sexes becomes the more dispersive.
Abstract: Understanding the causes and consequences of dispersal is a prerequisite for the effective management of natural populations. Rather than treating dispersal as a fixed trait, it should be considered a plastic process that responds to both genetic and environmental conditions. Here, we consider how the ambient temperature experienced by juvenile Erigone atra, a spider inhabiting crop habitat, influences adult dispersal. This species exhibits 2 distinct forms of dispersal, ballooning (long distance) and rappelling (short distance). Using a half-sib design we raised individuals under 4 different temperature regimes and quantified the spiders' propensity to balloon and to rappel. Additionally, as an indicator of investment in settlement, we determined the size of the webs build by the spiders following dispersal. The optimal temperature regimes for reproduction and overall dispersal investment were 20 °C and 25 °C. Propensity to perform short-distance movements was lowest at 15 °C, whereas for long-distance dispersal it was lowest at 30 °C. Plasticity in dispersal was in the direction predicted on the basis of the risks associated with seasonal changes in habitat availability; long-distance ballooning occurred more frequently under cooler, spring-like conditions and short-distance rappelling under warmer, summer-like conditions. Based on these findings, we conclude that thermal conditions during development provide juvenile spiders with information about the environmental conditions they are likely to encounter as adults and that this information influences the spider's dispersal strategy. Climate change may result in suboptimal adult dispersal behavior, with potentially deleterious population level consequences.
Abstract: From a conservation point of view, species- tolerances towards disturbance are often generalised and lack reference to spatial scales and underlying processes. In order to investigate how average typical species react to habitat fragmentation and disturbance, we adopted a multi-species approach to address occupancy patterns of five specialised dune arthropods (butterflies Hipparchia semele, Issoria lathonia; grasshopper Oedipoda caerulescens; spiders Alopecosa fabrilis, Xysticus sabulosus) in recently fragmented coastal dune habitats which are subjected to varying levels and modes of local disturbance, i.e. trampling by cattle or people. Occupancy patterns were assessed during two successive years in 133 grey dune fragments of the Flemish coastal dunes (Belgium, France). By treating species as a random factor in our models, emphasis was placed on generalisations rather than documenting species-specific patterns. Our study demonstrates that deteriorating effects of local disturbance on arthropod incidence cannot be interpreted independent of its landscape context, and appear to be more severe when patch area and connectivity decrease. When controlled for patch area and trampling intensity, the probability of species occupancy in poorly connected patches is higher under cattle trampling than under recreation. Incidences additionally decrease with increasing intensity of cattle trampling, but increases with trampling by tourists. This study provides evidence of mode- and landscape-dependent effects of local disturbance on species occupancy patterns. Most importantly, it demonstrates that trampling of sensitive dune fragments will lead to local and metapopulation extinction in landscapes where trampling occurs in a spatially autocorrelated way, but that the outcome (spatial patterns) varies in relation to disturbance mode, indicating that effects of disturbance cannot be generalised.
Asymptomatische Bakteriurie (ABU) stellt eine bakterielle Infektion der Harnblase über einen langen Zeitraum dar, die häufig von Escherichia coli hervorgerufen wird, ohne dass typische Symptome einer Harnwegsinfektion auftreten. Um die Charakteristika von ABU E. coli Isolaten genauer zu untersuchen, wurden die Geno- und Phänotypen von 11 ABU-Isolaten verglichen. Außerdem wurden in mehreren aufeinanderfolgenden in vivo-Reisolaten des Modell-ABU Stammes 83972 die Veränderungen im Transkriptom, Proteom und Genom während einer langfristigen Persistenz in der menschlichen Blase charakterisiert. Schließlich wurde der Effekt des menschlichen Wirtes auf die bakterielle Adaptation durch einen Vergleich von in vitro- mit in vivo-kultivierten Stämmen abgeschätzt. ABU-Isolate stellt eine heterogene Gruppe von Organismen dar. Diese können den vier phylogenetischen Hauptgruppen von E. coli sowie unterschiedlichen klonalen Gruppen zugeordnet werden. Dementsprechend unterscheiden sie sich erheblich bezüglich der Zusammensetzung des Genomes, der Genomgröße und auch der Ausstattung mit UPEC-typischen Virulenz-assoziierten Genen. Multi-Lokus-Sequenz-Typisierung legt nahe, dass bestimmte ABU Stämme sich durch Genomreduktion aus UPEC Stämmen entwickelt haben, die eine Harnwegsinfektion mit charakteristischen Symptomen auslösen konnten. Folglich erlaubt die hohe Genomplastizität von E. coli keine generalisierte Betrachtung einzelner Isolate eines Klons. Genomreduktion über Punktmutationen, Genom-Reorganisation und Deletionen resultierte in der Inaktivierung einiger Gene, die für einige UPEC Virulenz-Faktoren kodieren. Dies stützt die Vorstellung, dass eine verminderte bakterielle Aktivierung der Entzündung der Wirtsschleimhaut den Lebensstil von ABU (bei diesen E. coli-)Isolaten fördert. Genregulation und genetische Diversität sind Strategien, die es Bakterien ermöglichen unter sich fortlaufend ändernden Bedingungen zu leben bzw. zu überleben. Um die anpassungsbedingten Veränderungen bei einem langfristigen Wachstum in der Blase zu untersuchen, wurden aufeinanderfolgende Reisolate, denen eine langfristige in vivo-Kolonisierung im menschlichen Wirt beziehungsweise eine in vitro-Kultivierung vorausgegangen ist, im Hinblick auf Veränderungen Genexpression und Genomorganisation analysiert. In diesem Zusammenhang konnte gezeigt werden, dass E. coli in der Lage ist, seine metabolischen Netzwerke verschiedenen Wachstumsbedingungen anzupassen und individuelle bakterielle Kolonisierungsstrategien entwickeln kann. Transkriptom- und Proteom-Analysen zeigten verschiedene metabolische Strategien zur Nährstoffbeschaffung und Energieproduktion bei untersuchten in vivo-Reisolaten vom Stamm 83972, die es ihnen ermöglichen, den Wirt zu kolonisieren. Das Zurückgreifen auf D-Serin, Deoxy- und Ribonucleoside sowie die bidirektionale Umwandlung zwischen Pentose und Glucuronat waren hoch-regulierte Stoffwechselwege, die die in vivo-Reisolate mit zusätzlicher Energie für ein effizientes Wachstum in der Blase versorgen. Zudem wurden in dieser Studie die Netzwerke für eine Reaktion auf Abwehrmechanismen des Wirtes erforscht: Erstmals wurde hier die Rolle der Klasse-III-Alkoholdehydrogenase AdhC, bekannt durch ihre Bedeutung bei der Entgiftung von Stickstoffmonoxid, bei der Wirtsantwort während einer asymptomatischen Bakteriurie gezeigt. Aufeinanderfolgende in vivo- und in vitro-Reisolate vom Stamm 83972 wurden ebenfalls bezüglich ihrer Genomstruktur analysiert. Einige Veränderungen in der Genomstruktur der aufeinanderfolgenden Reisolate, die von einer humanen Kolonisierungsstudie stammen, implizieren die Bedeutung einer Interaktion der Bakterien mit dem Wirt bei der Mikroevolution der Bakterien. Dagegen war die Genomstruktur von Reisolaten eines langfristigen in vitro-Kultivierungsexperiments, bei dem sich der Stamm 83972 ohne Wirtskontakt vermehrt hat, nicht von Veränderungen betroffen. Das legt nahe, dass die Immunantwort eine Genomplastizität fördert und somit eine treibende Kraft für den ABU Lebensstil und die Evolution im Harnwegstrakt ist.
Abstract: Intensification of land-use in agricultural landscapes is responsible for a decline of biodiversity which provide important ecosystem services like pest-control. Changes in landscape composition may also induce behavioural changes of predators in response to variation in the biotic or abiotic environment. By controlling for environmentally confounding factors, we here demonstrate that the orb web spider Araneus diadematus alters its web building behaviour in response to changes in the composition of agricultural landscapes. Thereby, the species increases its foraging efficiency (i.e. investments in silk and web asymmetry) with an increase of agricultural land-use at intermediate spatial scales. This intensification is also related to a decrease in the abundance of larger prey. A negative effect of landscape properties at similar spatial scales on spider fitness was recorded when controlling for relative investments in capture thread length. This study consequently documents the web building flexibility in response to changes in landscape composition, possibly due to changes in prey availability.
1. Species assemblages of naturally disturbed habitats are governed by the prevailing disturbance regime. Consequently, stochastic flood events affect river banks and the inhabiting biota. Predatory arthropods occupy predominantly river banks in relation to specific habitat conditions. Therefore, species sorting and stochastic processes as induced by flooding are supposed to play important roles in structuring riparian arthropod assemblages in relation to their habitat preference and dispersal ability. 2. To ascertain whether assemblages of spiders and carabid beetles from disturbed river banks are structured by stochastic or sorting mechanisms, diversity patterns and assemblage-wide trait-displacements were assessed based on pitfall sampling data. We tested if flooding disturbance within a lowland river reach affects diversity patterns and trait distribution in both groups. 3. Whereas the number of riparian spider species decreased considerably with increased flooding, carabid beetle diversity benefited from intermediate degrees of flooding. Moreover, regression analyses revealed trait-displacements, reflecting sorting mechanisms particularly for spiders. Increased flooding disturbance was associated with assemblage-wide increases of niche breadth, shading and hygrophilic preference and ballooning propensity for spider (sub)families. Trait patterns were comparable for Bembidiini carabids, but were less univocal for Pterostichini species. Body size decreased for lycosid spiders and Bembidiini carabids with increased flooding, but increased in linyphiid spiders and Pterostichini carabids. 4. Our results indicate that mainly riparian species are disfavoured by either too high or too low degrees of disturbance, whereas eurytopic species benefit from increased flooding. Anthropogenic alterations of flooding disturbance constrain the distribution of common hygrophilous species and/or species with high dispersal ability, inducing shifts towards less specialized arthropod assemblages. River banks with divergent degrees of flooding impact should be maintained throughout dynamic lowland river reaches in order to preserve typical riparian arthropod assemblages.
The Guinea savanna-forest mosaic of West Africa is particularly rich in animal-dispersed plants. African savannas harbour the richest dung beetle community worldwide. The role of primates and dung beetles in natural plant regeneration and biodiversity maintenance in this ecosystem, however, is still poorly understood. The present study on olive baboons (Papio anubis Lesson 1827, Cercopithecinae) at Comoé National Park (CNP), north-eastern Ivory Coast, revealed that western olive baboon populations differ in several ways from their eastern conspecifics. Baboons are commonly regarded as predators of the seeds of their food plants. In the savanna-forest mosaic of West Africa, however, they are highly frugivorous and are important seed dispersers of a high number of woody plant species that differ in fruit type and seed size. They disperse intact seeds of at least 22% of the woody plant species of the regional plant pool. Their "seed dispersal potential", regarding seed number and seed sizes, is comparable to that of the much larger great apes. Relative to the availability in the regional pool of woody plant species, baboons preferred trees to shrubs and lianas as fruit sources and especially included larger fruit into their diet. Among several morphological fruit traits investigated, fruit type and fruit colour best described whether baboons included a species into their diet, whereas fruit type and seed size best predicted whether baboons predated upon the seeds of a food plant species. Seed size is an important plant fitness trait that can influence several steps between fruiting and the establishment of a plant´s offspring. Seed size can vary considerably within and among individuals of the same species. Primates may select for certain seed sizes within a species for a number of reasons, e.g. to decrease indigestible seed load or to increase pulp intake per fruit. Within eight out of ten plant species investigated, which differed in fruit type, seed number and seed size, olive baboons were selective in fruit choice regarding seed size. Seed size selection by olive baboons seems to be influenced, among other traits, by the amount of pulp rewarded per fruit relative to seed load, which varies with fruit and seed shape. Being a habitat generalist (with a preference for forest habitats) and able to move comparatively long distances, the olive baboon might be especially important for the biodiversity maintenance of distant forest islands. Because most woody plant species at the study site had medium-sized to large fruits and seeds, olive baboons may be crucial for seed dispersal and plant recruitment in this ecosystem. Their importance for seed dispersal of plants with small fruits should not, however, be underrated. Observation of frugivores at a typical "bird-dispersed" tree species showed that classification of seed dispersers on the basis of fruit syndromes alone can be misleading. Olive baboons disperse seeds in their faeces in a clumped manner, which generally is regarded disadvantageous for plants. Yet, seeds from all plant species being naturally present in baboon dung during seasonal peaks of dung beetle activity apparently can be scattered locally by dung beetles. Dung beetle activity at baboon faeces deposited in the two habitats was high, totalling 99 species from 26 genera. The probability and pattern of secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles depend on the structure and composition of the dung beetle community, which, in turn, seems to be strongly determined by vegetation type. I thus expected pronounced differences in secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles between seeds deposited by baboons in the savanna and in the forest. Experiments indicated that compared to seeds dispersed by baboons into the forest, seeds that end up in the savanna generally have a higher probability of (a) being removed by dung beetles, (b) being horizontally scattered by telecoprids, (c) being rapidly removed from the place of primary deposition and (d) being secondarily dispersed over larger distances. In general, savanna plants and plant habitat generalists the seeds of which baboons disperse into the savanna should profit most from secondary seed dispersal by dung beetles.
This thesis deals with the management and analysis of source code, which is represented in XML. Using the elementary methods of the XML repository, the XML source code representation is accessed, changed, updated, and saved. We reason about the source code, refactor source code and we visualize dependency graphs for call analysis. The visualized dependencies between files, modules, or packages are used to structure the source code in order to get a system, which is easily to comprehend, to modify and to complete. Sophisticated methods have been developed to slice the source code in order to obtain a working package of a large system, containing only a specific functionality. The basic methods, on which the visualizations and analyses are built on can be changed like changing a plug-in. The visualization methods can be reused in order to handle arbitrary source code representations, e.g., JAML, PHPML, PROLOGML. Dependencies of other context can be visualized, too, e.g., ER diagrams, or website references. The tool SCAV supports source code visualization and analyzing methods.
Uniparental zygotes with two genomes from the same sex can be established from fertilised oocytes after pronuclear exchange. They contain two maternal (gynogenetic; GG) or paternal (androgenetic; AG) pronuclei and are not competent to develop into viable offspring but they can form blastocysts from which embryonic stem cells (ES cells) can be derived. The developmental potential of uniparental ES cells is not fully investigated. The restricted developmental potential of uniparental cells is cell-intrinsic and probably reflects the different roles maternal and paternal genomes play during development. Following blastocyst injection, both GG and AG ES cells show biased and parent-of-origin-specific chimaera formation. While the in vitro and in vivo neural differentiation potential of GG ES cells is well characterised the neural developmental potential of AG ES cells is less clear. In an earlier study the group of K. John McLaughlin reported that AG and GG ES cell-derived hematopoietic stem cells conveyed long-term, multi-lineage hematopoietic engraftment with no associated pathologies (Eckardt et al., 2007). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of AG uniparental murine ES cells to differentiate in vitro and in vivo into neural progenitor / stem cells and further into neurons, astro- and oligodendroglia in comparison to GG and biparental (normal fertilised; N) ES cells. Uniparental and biparental ES cells were obtained from K. John McLaughlin’s group and a cell culture system was established to expand uniparental (AG, GG) and biparental N ES cells on murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF). A multistep-protocol was used to differentiate ES cells towards pan-neural progenitor cells and neuronal and glial cell types (Brüstle et al., 1997). The ability of terminal neural differentiation in vitro was analysed by fluorescence microscopy using neuronal and glial lineage markers. In parallel, eGFP+ AG or N ES cells were injected into blastocysts prior to their transfer into foster mothers. At E12.5 and E14.5, embryos were isolated, forebrains were dissected and by means of fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) eGFP+ donor cells were isolated from chimeric brains. Both eGFP+ donor and corresponding eGFP- blastocyst-derived brain cells were expanded and analyses of differentiation potential and self-renewal capacity were performed. Also, cryosections of E12.5 chimeric brains were analysed for donor contribution to the neuronal lineage by immunofluorescence microscopy. Here it is described that following in vitro differentiation, AG pan-neural progenitor cells have similar abilities to differentiate into neuronal and glial lineages as GG and N pan-neural progenitor cells. In cryosections of E12.5 chimeric brains no differences in brain engraftment and formation of immature neuronal cells between uniparental AG and N donor cells were detected. AG and N ES cell-derived cells isolated from chimeric foetal brains by FACS exhibited similar neurosphere initiating cell frequencies and neural multi-lineage differentiation potential. Therefore, the data of this study suggest that the previously described differences in the in vivo engraftment pattern of uniparental inner cell mass (ICM) cells in foetal brains (Keverne et al., 1996) are not primarily due to limitations in the proliferation or differentiation properties of uniparental neural progenitor cells. The results presented here indicate that AG ES cell-derived neural progenitor / stem cells did not differ from N neural progenitor / stem cells in their self-renewal and their neural multi-lineage differentiation potential. Also AG ES cell-derived cells contributed to developing brains at early foetal developmental stages showing a widespread and balanced distribution in chimeric brains. AG brain cells form neurospheres with self-renewal and neural differentiation capacity similar to N ES cell-derived brain cells. Thus, the data of this study together indicate that the neural developmental potential in vivo and in vitro of AG and N ES cells does not differ.
The goal of the work presented in this thesis was to explore the possibilities and limitations of MRI / MRS using an ultra high field of 17.6 tesla. A broad range of specific applications and MR methods, from MRI to MRSI and MRS were investigated. The main foci were on sodium magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging of rodents, magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the mouse brain, and the detection of small amounts of iron labeled stem cells in the rat brain using MRI Sodium spectroscopic imaging was explored since it benefits tremendously from the high magnetic field. Due to the intrinsically low signal in vivo, originating from the low concentrations and short transverse relaxation times, only limited results have been achieved by other researchers until now. Results in the literature include studies conducted on large animals such as dogs to animals as small as rats. No studies performed on mice have been reported, despite the fact that the mouse is the most important laboratory animal due to the ready availability of transgenic strains. Hence, this study concentrated on sodium MRSI of small rodents, mostly mice (brain, heart, and kidney), and in the case of the brain on young rats. The second part of this work concentrated on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the rodent brain. Due to the high magnetic field strength not only the increasing signal but also the extended spectral resolution was advantageous for such kind of studies. The difficulties/limitations of ultra high field MRS were also investigated. In the last part of the presented work detection limits of iron labeled stem cells in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging were explored. The studies provided very useful benchmarks for future researchers in terms of the number of labeled stem cells that are required for high-field MRI studies. Overall this work has shown many of the benefits and the areas that need special attention of ultra high fields in MR. Three topics in MRI, MRS and MRSI were presented in detail. Although there are significant additional difficulties that have to be overcome compared to lower frequencies, none of the work presented here would have been possible at lower field strengths.
