All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality independently of insects. Myriapoda is the only arthropod class not represented by a sequenced genome. We present an analysis of the genome of the centipede Strigamia maritima. It retains a compact genome that has undergone less gene loss and shuffling than previously sequenced arthropods, and many orthologues of genes conserved from the bilaterian ancestor that have been lost in insects. Our analysis locates many genes in conserved macro-synteny contexts, and many small-scale examples of gene clustering. We describe several examples where S. maritima shows different solutions from insects to similar problems. The insect olfactory receptor gene family is absent from S. maritima, and olfaction in air is likely effected by expansion of other receptor gene families. For some genes S. maritima has evolved paralogues to generate coding sequence diversity, where insects use alternate splicing. This is most striking for the Dscam gene, which in Drosophila generates more than 100,000 alternate splice forms, but in S. maritima is encoded by over 100 paralogues. We see an intriguing linkage between the absence of any known photosensory proteins in a blind organism and the additional absence of canonical circadian clock genes. The phylogenetic position of myriapods allows us to identify where in arthropod phylogeny several particular molecular mechanisms and traits emerged. For example, we conclude that juvenile hormone signalling evolved with the emergence of the exoskeleton in the arthropods and that RR-1 containing cuticle proteins evolved in the lineage leading to Mandibulata. We also identify when various gene expansions and losses occurred. The genome of S. maritima offers us a unique glimpse into the ancestral arthropod genome, while also displaying many adaptations to its specific life history.}, language = {en} } @article{ScheererNeumannSchnitzler2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and Schnitzler, Carola D.}, title = {Die Potsdamer Bilderliste : ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Entwicklungsstufen beim Schriftspracherwerb in den Klasse 2 und 3}, isbn = {978-3-531-15623-1}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{SchnitzlerScheererNeumannRitteretal.2007, author = {Schnitzler, Carola D. and Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheide and Ritter, Christiane and Prengel, Annedore}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 3 - 6 : Lesen ; Lehrerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {61 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannSchnitzlerRitteretal.2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and Schnitzler, Carola D. and Ritter, Christiane and Prengel, Annedore}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 2 : Rechtschreiben ; Lehrerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {51 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannHuebnerMuehlbaueretal.2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and H{\"u}bner, Anita and M{\"u}hlbauer, Evelyn and Schnitzler, Carola D. and Prengel, Annedore}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 3 - 5 : Rechtschreiben ; Lehrerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {88 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannSchnitzlerRitteretal.2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and Schnitzler, Carola D. and Ritter, Christiane and Prengel, Annedore}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 2 : Lesen; Lehrerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {53 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannHuebnerMuehlbaueretal.2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and H{\"u}bner, Anita and M{\"u}hlbauer, Evelyn and Schnitzler, Carola D. and Ritter, Christiane}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 5 : Deutsch ; Sch{\"u}lerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {30 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannSchnitzlerRitter2007, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and Schnitzler, Carola D. and Ritter, Christiane}, title = {Individuelle Lernstandsanalysen (ILeA) 2 : Deutsch ; Sch{\"u}lerheft}, publisher = {Landesinstitut f{\"u}r Schule und Medien Brandenburg}, address = {Ludwigsfelde}, pages = {22 S.}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @book{ScheererNeumannSchnitzler2005, author = {Scheerer-Neumann, Gerheid and Schnitzler, Carola D.}, title = {Caf{\´e} der Tiere : das Buchstabenbuch f{\"u}r Vorschulkinder und Schulanf{\"a}nger}, publisher = {Kallmeyer bei Friedrich}, address = {Seelze}, isbn = {3-7800-5226-1}, pages = {36 S.}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Mithilfe dieses Buches sollen Kinder ihre Lernvoraussetzungen f{\"u}r den Schriftspracherwerb optimieren, indem sie spielerisch Einsicht in die lautliche Struktur der gesprochenen Sprache gewinnen und erste Buchstaben-Laut- Beziehungen kennen lernen.}, language = {de} } @article{ChristensenLentzMortensenetal.2005, author = {Christensen, B.

Malnutrition is defined as deficiency of nutrition due to not ingesting the proper amounts of nutrients by simply not eating enough food and/or by consuming nutrient-poor food in respect to the daily nutritional requirements. Moreover, malnutrition and disease are closely associated and incidences of such diet-related diseases increase particularly in low- and middle-income states. While foods of animal origin are often unaffordable to low-income families, various neglected crops can offer an alternative source of micronutrients, vitamins, as well as health-promoting secondary plant metabolites. Therefore, agricultural and horticultural research should develop strategies not only to produce more food, but also to improve access to more nutritious food. In this context, one promising approach is to promote biodiversity in the dietary pattern of low-income people by getting access to nutritional as well as affordable food and providing recommendations for food selection and preparation. Worldwide, a multitude of various plant species are assigned to be consumed as grains, vegetables, and fruits, but only a limited number of these species are used as commercial cash crops. Consequently, numerous neglected and underutilized species offer the potential to diversify not only the human diet, but also increase food production levels, and, thus, enable more sustainable and resilient agro- and horti-food systems. To exploit the potential of neglected plant (NP) species, coordinated approaches on the local, regional, and international level have to be integrated that consequently demand the involvement of numerous multi-stakeholders. Thus, the objective of the present review is to evaluate whether NP species are important as "Future Food" for improving the nutritional status of humans as well as increasing resilience of agro- and horti-food systems.}, language = {en} } @article{LuftNeumannItzerottetal.2016, author = {Luft, Laura and Neumann, C. and Itzerott, S. and Lausch, A. and Doktor, D. and Freude, M. and Blaum, Niels and Jeltsch, Florian}, title = {Digital and real-habitat modeling of Hipparchia statilinus based on hyper spectral remote sensing data}, series = {International journal of environmental science and technology}, volume = {13}, journal = {International journal of environmental science and technology}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {1735-1472}, doi = {10.1007/s13762-015-0859-1}, pages = {187 -- 200}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The abandonment of military areas leads to succession processes affecting valuable open-land habitats and is considered to be a major threat for European butterflies.

Presence-absence data were sampled on a total area of 36 km(2), and N = 65 adult individuals of Hipparchia statilinus could be detected. The floristic composition within the study area was modeled in a three-dimensional ordination space. Occurrence probabilities for the target species were predicted as niches between ordinated floristic gradients by using Regression Kriging of Indicators. Habitat variance could be explained by up to 81 \% with spectral variables at a spatial resolution of 2 x 2 m by transferring PLSR models to imagery. Ordinated ecological niche of Hipparchia statilinus was tested against environmental predictor variables. N = 6 variables could be detected to be significantly correlated with habitat preferences of Hipparchia statilinus. They show that Hipparchia statilinus can serve as a valuable indicator for the evaluation of the conservation status of Natura 2000 habitat type 2330 (inland dunes with open Corynephorus and Agrostis grasslands) protected by the Habitat Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC). The authors of this approach, conducted in August 2013 at Doberitzer Heide Germany, aim to increase the value of remote sensing as an important tool for questions of biodiversity research and conservation.}, language = {en} }
