Individual stochasticity and population heterogeneity in plant and animal demography (INDSTOCH)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,
"Variation among individuals in reproduction, survival, and other demographic traits, is universal. It has two potential sources: heterogeneity (differences among individuals in their vital rates) and individual stochasticity (random differences resulting from the application of the same vital rates to identical individuals). The goal of the proposed research is to incorporate individual stochast ...

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of community self-organization through ontogenetic asymmetry (ECOEVODEVO)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,
"Classical theory on community ecology models dynamics as interplay between top-down and bottom-up effects of population abundances only and considers population composition irrelevant. It ignores food-dependent ontogenetic development, in particular somatic growth, which characterizes most species and uniquely distinguishes organisms from fundamental units in physical or chemical multi-particle s ...

The Paradox of Sulfur Bacteria in Soda Lakes (PARASOL)
Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,
"Soda lakes are extreme environments with pH values between 9 and 11, and salt concentrations up to saturation. Despite these hostile conditions, most soda lakes are highly productive and harbor diverse microbial communities responsible for the cycling of chemical elements. The sulfur cycle, driven by haloalkaliphilic sulfur oxidizing bacteria and sulfidogenic bacteria, is one of the most active e ...

Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

The FIBONACCI Project - Large scale dissemination of inquiry based science and mathematics education (FIBONACCI)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
"European authorities and the international scientific community acknowledge the importance of Inquiry-Based Science and Mathematics Education (IBSME) to develop an integrated strategy for scientific literacy and awareness from primary to secondary school, reinforcing scientific careers. Scienceduc and Pollen FP6 projects as well as SINUS-Transfer have successfully implemented IBSME in a large num ...
