Responses of precambrian life to environmental changes (PALEONANOLIFE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
This multidisciplinary proposal has the objective to enhance our knowledge on the early steps of the evolution of life on Earth by providing a foundation for better deciphering the molecular fossil record as well as the geochemical signals hidden in ancient rocks. Based on the multiscale and multitechnique study of morphologically preserved microorganisms fossilized within ancient siliceous nodule ...

CACHE: CAlcium in a CHanging Environment (CACHE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
"Anthropogenic driven climate change is a global problem that will increasingly affect our world and It is essential that we train our future scientists in multidisciplinary approaches to enable them to tackle such complex problems. This ITN examines environmental calcium mobilisation and deposition in marine molluscs, species that have been highlighted as being particularly at risk under future c ...

Synthesis of systematic resources (SYNTHESYS3)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
SYNTHESYS3 will create an accessible, integrated European resource for researchers in the natural sciences in Europe and globally. Building on the success of the previous SYNTHESYS IA, the NA will focus on improving collections management of new physical and virtual collections. By focusing the JRA on extracting and enhancing data from digitised collections, SYNTHESYS3 will increase the accessibil ...

BlueGenics – From gene to bioactive product: Exploiting marine genomics for an innovative and sustainable European blue biotechnology industry (BlueGenics)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Marine organisms, in particular sponges and their associated microorganisms, are an inexhaustible source of novel bioactive (lead) compounds for biomedical application. Industrial exploitation of this natural resource using traditional approaches is, however, hampered, with a few exceptions, by unsolvable supply problems - despite of numerous efforts in the past. Therefore, there is, very likely, ...

Evolutionary morphology of accessory auditory structures in piranhas, pacus, and related serrasalmid fishes: is acute hearing an adaptation for prey location? (EVOMORPHASIS)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
The evolutionary success of otophysans, a major lineage of fish diversity, is often attributed to a novel morphology involving unique bones, anterior vertebrae, and the swim bladder. This feature, termed the Weberian apparatus (WA), is an accessory hearing organ that transduces sound from the swim bladder to the inner ear. As a result, otophysans have sensitive hearing, however, the adaptive funct ...

Carbonate Biomineralization in the Marine Environment: Paleo-climate proxies and the origin of vital effects (BIOCARB)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
This interdisciplinary proposal has the objective to greatly enhance our understanding of fundamental biomineralization processes involved in the formation of calcium carbonates by marine organisms, such as corals, foraminifera and bivalves, in order to better understand vital effects. This is essential to the application of these carbonates as proxies for global (paleo-) environmental change. The ...

Exploring bird distribution drivers across differentspatial scales and time to predict the potential impact of global change on bird distributions and diversity (BIRDCHANGE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
Global change impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem processes and human well-being are a pressing scientific and political concern. One of the major goals of global change research is to reliably predict the future distributions of species and to assess potential resulting consequences for the adaptive management of ecosystems and their services and for conservation strategies. Dramatically increased ...

Neandertal spine and thorax anatomy: 3D reconstruction, ontogeny and phylogeny (NeanderSTAN)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
The vertebral column and thorax are key anatomical regions in human evolution to understand upright bipedal posture and locomotion in terms of weight transmission, equilibrium, habitual loading and kinematics. Additionally, the vertebral column protects the spinal cord, and the size of the spine canal can offer a glimpse into the neurological basis on which throwing abilities and speech evolved, a ...

Stable isotope investigations on the adaptations of Neolithic husbandry to the diverse climatic and environmental settings of Eastern, Central and Western Europe (SIANHE)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
Twenty-first century European husbandry results from thousand-year-old experiences. This project aims at giving a historical dimension to the growing questioning on present day herding practices among European consumers. Sheep, goat, cattle and pig were domesticated ca. 8500 cal. BC in the eastern Taurus. From there they spread to most of the Near East and entered Europe at the turn of the 7th mil ...
