T1  - Temperature-induced responses of a permanent-pond and a temporary-pond cyclopoid copepod : a link to habitat predictability?
N2  - Temporary-pond species can be expected to use environmental cues to predict the onset of adverse conditions, while permanent-pond species may be insensitive to such cues. Temperature is such a potential cue in temporary waterbodies, as if fluctuates more widely with decreasing pond size than in deeper permanent ponds. We compared the temperature-induced response of a permanent-pond and a temporary-pond cyclopoid copepod focusing on juvenile development duration, diapause induction and survival during diapause. Nonlinear regression analysis suggested a stronger effect of temperature on the duration of juvenile development in the temporary-pond species. This species also showed a higher and temperature-dependent variation in development duration (highest coefficient of variation 26%) compared with the permanent species, for which variation was lower and similar at all temperatures (maximal coefficient of variation 6%). Temperature significantly influenced the induction of diapause in the temporary-pond species, where the percentage of individuals entering diapause increased from 0% at 5degreesC and 10degreesC to 63% at 15degreesC and 91% at 20degreesC. In the permanent-pond species, diapause induction was independent of temperature and was induced in 100% of experimental specimens. This suggests an obligatory diapause in the permanent-pond species, a type of dormancy that has not been described previously for cyclopoid copepods. Survival during diapause in both species was higher when the diapausing copepodid stage was reached at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures, the temporary-pond species survived longer than the permanent-pond species. These results suggest different temperature optima of the two species. The strategy displayed by the permanent-pond species might be selected for in more stable habitats and may preclude the colonization of temporary ponds. Higher flexibility in life-history traits and the use of temperature as an environmental cue in the temporary-pond species could be favoured in unpredictable habitats

T1  - Word category and verb-argument structure information in the dynamics of parsing
N2  - One of the core issues in psycholinguistic research concerns the relationship between word category information and verb-argument structure (e.g. transitivity) information of verbs in the process of sentence parsing. In two experiments (visual versus auditory presentation) using event-related brain potentials (ERPs), we addressed this question by presenting sentences in which the critical word simultaneously realized both a word category and a transitivity violation. ERPs for sentences with both types of violation clustered with the patterns for sentences with a word category violation only, but were different from the patterns elicited by argument structure violations in isolation, since only the latter elicited an N400 ERP component. The finding that an argument structure violation evoked an N400 only if the phrase structure of the respective sentence was correct suggests that a successful integration of the word category information of a verb functionally precedes the application of its argument structure information.

T1  - SARIM PLUS-sample return of comet 67P/CG and of interstellar matter
JF  - EXPERIMENTAL ASTRONOMY
N2  - The Stardust mission returned cometary, interplanetary and (probably) interstellar dust in 2006 to Earth that have been analysed in Earth laboratories worldwide. Results of this mission have changed our view and knowledge on the early solar nebula. The Rosetta mission is on its way to land on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and will investigate for the first time in great detail the comet nucleus and its environment starting in 2014. Additional astronomy and planetary space missions will further contribute to our understanding of dust generation, evolution and destruction in interstellar and interplanetary space and provide constraints on solar system formation and processes that led to the origin of life on Earth. One of these missions, SARIM-PLUS, will provide a unique perspective by measuring interplanetary and interstellar dust with high accuracy and sensitivity in our inner solar system between 1 and 2 AU. SARIM-PLUS employs latest in-situ techniques for a full characterisation of individual micrometeoroids (flux, mass, charge, trajectory, composition()) and collects and returns these samples to Earth for a detailed analysis. The opportunity to visit again the target comet of the Rosetta mission 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimeenternko, and to investigate its dusty environment six years after Rosetta with complementary methods is unique and strongly enhances and supports the scientific exploration of this target and the entire Rosetta mission. Launch opportunities are in 2020 with a backup window starting early 2026. The comet encounter occurs in September 2021 and the reentry takes place in early 2024. An encounter speed of 6 km/s ensures comparable results to the Stardust mission.
