项目摘要

Central project: The central project serves to coordinate the PhD program within the Research Unit, organize travel among groups, seminar series, master classes, a yearly retreat, method courses and a workshop. It eases and stimulates interaction among groups by allowing students to spend some time in another laboratory of the group for joint experiments and method transfer. International visibility of the research through presentations at conferences will also be organized through the central project. In addition, this project comprises two method platforms, genetic paternity determination, in Bielefeld and Endocrinological analysis in Münster. To insure data safety and comparability among groups a central relational data base will be set up and used by all groups.Paternity Platform: The genetics Iaboratory at the chair of Behavioural Biology, University of Bielefeld, will determine paternities based on 10-20 polymorphic microsatellites for the groups working with guinea pigs, cavies, field voles and zebra finches. The respective microsatellites are established in our lab.Endocrinology Platform: In our Endocrinology Iaboratory at the University of Münster, we routinely determine plasma concentrations of different hormones by radioimmunoassay and competitive enzymimmunoassays (EIA). We will determine plasma concentrations of Cortisol, testosterone and progesterone in guinea pigs, wild cavies and zebra finches for different projects of our research group. Furthermore, we will determine concentrations of corticosterone and testosterone metabolites in the faeces of wild cavies, laboratory mice and field voles in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Rupert Palme, Institute for Biochemistry, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna.

中心项目：中心项目旨在协调研究单位内的博士课程，组织小组之间的旅行、研讨会系列、大师班、年度静修会、方法课程和研讨会，它通过允许学生花时间来缓解和刺激小组之间的互动。还将通过中心项目在该小组的另一个实验室进行联合实验和方法转让，以提高国际知名度。此外，该项目包括两个方法平台，分别位于比勒费尔德和比勒费尔德。内分泌分析明斯特，为了确保数据安全和群体之间的可比性，将建立一个中央关系数据库并供所有群体使用。亲子鉴定平台：比勒费尔德大学行为生物学系主任的遗传学实验室将根据 10-20 确定亲子关系。用于豚鼠、豚鼠、田鼠和斑胸草雀研究组的多态性微卫星我们建立了相应的微卫星。内分泌学平台：在明斯特大学的内分泌实验室，我们定期通过放射免疫测定法和竞争性酶免疫测定法 (EIA) 测定豚鼠、野生豚鼠和豚鼠体内皮质醇、睾酮和黄体酮的血浆浓度。此外，我们将确定斑胸草雀中皮质酮和睾酮代谢物的浓度。与维也纳兽医大学生物化学研究所的 Rupert Palme 教授合作，对野生豚鼠、实验室小鼠和田鼠的粪便进行了研究。
