"Innotive Training Environment for Researchers Combining the Resources of Statistical Science, Informatics & Genetics" (INTERCROSSING)

Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2016,

"The principal strategic objective of INTERCROSSING is the cultivation of a new type of young researcher to deal with challenges of exploiting the latest Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies – individuals with rigorous training in three disciplines hardly ever found together any one young scientist: population genetics, informatics and statistics. The need for this supra-disciplinary com ...

Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,

The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

Myanmar freshwater biogeography; understanding a zoogeographical transition zone (MYANMAR-FISH)

Date du début: 5 août 2013, Date de fin: 4 août 2015,

The tropical rivers of Asia are hotspots of freshwater fish biodiversity, yet little scientific attention has been devoted to understanding this diversity in a regional biogeographical context. One major unresolved question is the nature of the freshwater faunal break between Indian and Southeast Asian zoogeographical realms and the evolutionary relationship of species that occur in the transition ...

Opening up the Natural History Heritage for Europeana (OpenUp!)

Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,

European natural history collections manage and give access to over 1.5 bn objects from the world's biodiversity heritage, covering most of the species described worldwide. These are reference objects for all the common and famous species in the world, incl. those of high economic importance and even those that have already gone extinct. Many have great cultural value as they were collected during ...

Cenozoic evolution of the Indonesian Throughflow and the origins of Indo-Pacific marine biodiversity: Mapping the biotic response to environmental change (THROUGHFLOW)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,

A critical agenda for earth and life sciences is to determine how diverse tropical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs will respond to global environmental change. This will require long-term environmental and ecological data that rarely exist for living coral reefs. In contrast, the fossil record provides abundant examples that can be mined to predict future outcomes. The THROUGHFLOW network wi ...

THE REACTIVITY AND TOXICITY OF ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES: RISKS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH (NanoReTox)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,

NanoReTox will identify the potential risks to the environment and human health posed by free engineered (i.e. manmade) nanomaterial by comprehensively addressing five key questions: (1) How does the environment into which nanoparticles are released affect their physicochemical properties and their bioreactivity? (2) How does this impact on their ability to interact with and/or penetrate mammalia ...

Mechanisms of Mineral Replacement Reactions (Delta-Min)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,

In this ITN we investigate the mechanism of mineral reequilibration (phase transformation) in the presence of a fluid phase in a wide range of minerals and rocks, under a range of chemical and physical conditions, using both natural and experimental samples. Interface-coupled dissolution-reprecipitation is a recently defined mechanism which applies to a wide range of mineral transformation phenome ...

The Biodiversity, Systematics and Guide to the Identification of Marine Benthic Ciliates (Benthic Ciliates)

Date du début: 10 mai 2010, Date de fin: 9 avr. 2012,

Ciliated protozoa (ciliates) are important in terms of their diversity, ecology, pathogenesis and as indicators of environmental quality. Marine benthic ciliates, however, are rather poorly known due to a lack of modern treatments and taxonomic expertise. The objectives of this project are: (1) to increase knowledge of local and global species diversity. A faunistic study of benthic ciliates from ...

Efficient Phylogenetics and the Caecilian Tree of Life (EFFICIENT-C-TREE)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2011,

"The main aim of this research project is to develop and evaluate intelligent sampling strategies that will enable more efficient construction of large-scale phylogenetic trees, and ultimately the Tree of Life. The project aims to reconstruct a large, near-comprehensive phylogeny of caecilian amphibians, and to use it to compare supertree and supermatrix approaches for building trees of life, as w ...

Cophylogeography of ecological replicates: the coevolution and biogeography of Galapagos mockingbirds and their ectoparasites (Galapagos)

Date du début: 8 juin 2009, Date de fin: 7 mai 2011,

Evolutionary radiations of colonists on archipelagos provide valuable insight into the mechanisms and modes of speciation. Using both morphological and molecular genetic techniques this study will examine the coevolutionary history of multiple ectoparasite lineages parasitizing the endemic mockingbirds of the Galapagos. Using 3000+ samples collected by a recent EU funded project this study will co ...

Bio-clays from several water media (Bio-Clays)

Date du début: 5 mai 2009, Date de fin: 4 avr. 2011,

This project aims at assessing the influence of microbial activity and water chemistry on the formation of clay. Clays are the natural product of the chemical weathering of silicate rocks at the lithosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere contact. They interact greatly with water, air (they are transported long distances by the wind) and living organisms, especially those taking their nutrients directly fr ...

Palaeobiological inference through phylogenetic analysis of Pleistocene deer (Deer palaeobiology)

Date du début: 9 avr. 2009, Date de fin: 8 janv. 2011,

The present research aims to reconstruct the phylogeny of Plio-Pleistocene European deer and to use it as a case study of “adaptive radiation” to try to understand some classic palaeobiological questions such as the link between diversification and environmental change, the origins of endemism, size fluctuations within lineages, and the evolution of sexual organs (antlers) in relation to factors s ...
