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.

中央项目：中央项目用于协调研究部门内的博士学位计划，组织群体之间的旅行，开创性系列，大师班，年度务虚会，方法课程和研讨会。它通过允许学生在小组的另一个实验室中花费一些时间进行联合实验和方法转移来思考和刺激组之间的互动。通过在会议上演讲的研究的国际知名度也将通过中央项目组织。此外，该项目在Münster中包括两个方法平台，即遗传亲子鉴定和内分泌分析。为了确保各组之间的数据安全性和可比性，所有组都将建立和使用中央关系数据库。各自的微卫星是在我们的实验室中建立的。内分泌学平台：在Münster大学的内分泌学上，我们定期通过放射免疫测定和竞争性酶氨基糖分（EIA）确定不同激素的血浆浓度。我们将确定我们研究组不同项目的几内亚猪，野生洞和斑马雀的血浆浓度，睾丸激素和孕酮的血浆浓度。此外，我们将与维也纳兽医大学生物化学研究所Rupert Palme教授合作，确定野生仓库，实验室小鼠和野外田鼠的粪便中皮质酮和睾丸激素代谢产物的浓度。
