Genetische Spuren des Wollnashorns in Süddeutschland

Ein Wollnashorn in Süddeutschland? ForscherInnen der Universitäten Konstanz und Tübingen und des Landesamts für Denkmalpflege Baden-Württemberg rekonstruieren die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt der Steinzeit anhand genetischer Spuren in Hyänen-Koprolithen – und erstellen erstmalig das mitochondrielle Genom des ausgestorbenen europäischen Wollnashorns

Genetic traces of the woolly rhinoceros in southern Germany

A woolly rhinoceros in southern Germany? Researchers from the universities in Konstanz and Tübingen as well as the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Baden-Württemberg reconstruct the flora and fauna of the Stone Age based on genetic clues in hyena coprolites. Now, for the first time ever, they were able to sequence the mitochondrial genome of the extinct European woolly rhinoceros.

Reducing the Number of Arrivals via the German Asylum System

A peculiarity of the German public discourse are debates about Obergrenzen (upper limits) for asylum applicants. Such debates are often brushed aside as being unfeasible from a legal perspective. That is correct if we understand upper limits as an absolute maximum above which any additional application will be automatically rejected. Recurring debates about Obergrenzen indicate, however, that they serve, in the public discourse, as a symbol for the more general question whether states should…

Welcome Anke

We are happy to welcome a new member to our HCI family in Konstanz: Dr. Anke Reinschlüssel has joined us as a postdoctoral researcher! Previously, Anke was a PhD student at the University of Bremen. For her dissertation, Anke designed and evaluated several research prototypes to improve surgical planning and the conduction of surgeries. Therefore, she used tangibles, virtual reality, and new types of multimodal feedback.

In her current role as postdoctoral researcher, Anke will continue working…
