Content Conference Guide - BayCEER
Welcome Dear Participants of the GfÖ Annual Meeting 2009, Welcome to Bayreuth and its young and dynamic university! And welcome back to all of you who visited this conference 10 years ago at the same location. Many things have changed during the last decade, apart from the start of a new millennium – following are just a few examples in the context of this conference: The annual meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland has become truly international, demanding a “Welcome Note” instead of the German “Grußwort”. To address the needs of local practitioners of nature conservation, a day with presentations and discussions in German is also offered. In Bayreuth, the well-known “Bayreuther Institut für Terrestrische Ökosystemforschung” BITÖK has been followed by BayCEER, the Bayreuth Center of Ecology and Environmental Research, which is hosting this conference, in cooperation with the Ecological Botanical Gardens. I invite you to visit these gardens which accommodate over 10000 plant species from all over the world, displaying not only plant diversity but also their ecological relationships and functions. In science as well as in society, the reports of the International Panel of Climate Change in 2001 and 2007 together with ever perceptible changes of climate patterns have directed the focus to Global Change. Extensive research on its impact on organisms and ecosystems and our own capabilities to adapt to future challenges was stimulated. This, together with the concern of preserving the earth’s biodiversity, is the outstanding “global” dimension of ecological research. In molecular dimensions, biology is entering a new phase made possible by the current technological revolution in DNA-sequencing and molecular genetics. Natural diversity within species and the function of attribute variations can now be studied in depth. The dichotomy between organismal and molecular biology is about to fade, evolutionary and population biologists enter new research perspectives. The conference motto “Dimensions of Ecology: From Global Change to Molecular Ecology” is a consequent response to these major changes and comprises the vast range of temporal and spatial scales on which ecological research is taking place. We are therefore looking forward to seeing your own presentation of the dimensions of ecology! We invite you not only to enjoy productive discussions but also the culinary traditions of this region, also called “Genussregion Oberfranken”. May the conference help stimulate ideas and establish ties relevant for the next decade to come. Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to the scientific and organizing committees who have put together this attractive program. Stefan Peiffer Managing Director BayCEER 3 Welcome Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am pleased to welcome you at the 39th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria & Switzerland (GfÖ) taking place at the University of Bayreuth. Our motto “Dimensions of Ecology: From Global Change to Molecular Ecology” highlights the variety of ecological scopes, ranging from the impact of human beings on the biosphere to fundamental evolutionary questions. This demonstrates that our society is working at the frontier of ecology and nature conservation. The motto also fits very well to the exciting context of our meeting: the year 2009 is the bicentennial of Darwin‘s birthday, and the sesquicentennial of the publication of his book „The Origin of Species“. A close look at the programme shows that the organizers successfully managed to address all the issues mentioned in the previous paragraph. They also succeeded in elegantly merging the many applied disciplines of ecology with very ambitious methodological and theoretical questions. I am very grateful to all of them for making this conference possible. I wish us a productive and communicative meeting in the friendly and stimulating atmosphere of Bayreuth.

Geological Survey, and Department of Biology, University of Miami Donald L. DeAngelis is a theoretical ecologist with an interest in population dynamics, age and size structure of populations, food web theory, ecosystem theory, forest dynamics, nutrient cycling, modeling of animal behavior and movement, and evolutionary theory. He is coordinator of a US Geological Survey program developing a suite of landscape-level models of the Everglades ecosystem. Linking Global Change to Landscape Patterns and Species Populations Monday, 14th September 2009, 13:30-14:30, Audimax Projected climate changes pose an added risk factor for species that are already vulnerable to extinction. Such changes may also tip the balance enough to push some ecosystems into different steady state regimes. Although climate models (General Circulation Models, or GCMs) are still coarse in resolution, recent progress in down-scaling information from GCMs allows projection of possible future scenarios of temperature and precipitation on fine enough spatial and temporal scales of resolution to provide vital information for prediction of future changes in wildlife populations and patterns of vegetation across landscapes. Southern Florida may serve as a useful example for the types of change that may occur. It has many threatened or endangered species, it is undergoing changes in vegetation patterns, and it is particularly vulnerable to rising sea level. Southern Florida is also the focal point of combined hydrological and ecological modeling to project possible future scenarios. The ecological models include agent-based models that simulate populations over landscapes and regions, as well as landscape models of vegetation and topography. In addition, models at much finer scale simulate changes in microbial communities. The modeling approaches in southern Florida are related to similar research and modeling elsewhere. This work indicates that forecasting of the ecosystem consequences of global change will require coordinated efforts of scientists across many disciplines. The emphasis in modeling will be on linking together models across the spectrum from regional climate models down to models of evolutionary change in organisms. 8 Prof. em. Dr. Dr. h.c.

Public evening lecture (in German): Zurück zu einer besseren Zukunft: Drei Jahrzehnte ökologische Forschung im (globalen) Wandel – ein Bayreuther Rückblick Monday, 14th September 2009, 18:00-19:00, Audimax Die ökologische Forschung an der Universität Bayreuth wird von den beiden Säulen Biologie und Geoökologie getragen. Im Laufe der zurückliegenden drei Jahrzehnte ist aus diesen Säulen ein dynamisches Fundament geworden, das die starke Vernetzung der beiden Fächer nicht nur in gemeinsamen Forschungsprojekten, sondern auch durch die Implementierung besonderer Einrichtungen dokumentiert: Des Ökologisch Botanischen Gartens, des Bayreuther Zentrums für Ökologie und Umweltforschung (BayCEER, ehemals BITÖK), eines Sonderforschungsbereichs und mehrerer Forschergruppen und Graduiertenkollegs der DFG, sowie von vernetzten Studiengängen. Die Bayreuther ökologische Forschung hat durch die Verbindung mit den Afrikawissenschaften seit langem vor allem im „schwarzen“, aber auch in anderen Kontinenten Fuß gefasst und dort Anstöße zu weiteren Forschungsaktivitäten gegeben. Aufbauend auf der Grundlagenforschung hat sie stets auch aktuelle angewandte Fragestellungen wie z.B. die Waldschadensproblematik oder die Qualitätsverbesserung der Gewässer aufgegriffen. Der Vortrag zeigt am Beispiel ausgewählter Bayreuther Forschungsprojekte auch den im Laufe der vergangenen 30 Jahre erfolgten Paradigmenwechsel von der Autökologie zur Ökosystem- und Biodiversitätsforschung. 9 Keynotes Professor Ute Krämer Heisenberg Fellow and Research Group Leader. Heidelberg Institute of Plant Sciences and BioQuant Center Ute Krämer’s research group Evolutionary Functional Genomics & Metal Homeostasis Networks pursues an interdisciplinary approach to develop a comprehensive understanding of the function of biological networks and their evolution. Her work combines plant physiology, molecular biology, genomics, genetics, bioinformatics and modeling approaches. Metal hyperaccumulation and hypertolerance in Arabidopsis halleri Tuesday, 15th September 2009, 08:30-09:30, Audimax Our long-term research goal is to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive physiological traits. The selective pressures encountered by organisms on soils containing toxic concentrations of transition metals are among the strongest documented in biology. The natural vegetation on such soils includes a small proportion of extremophile metal hyperaccumulator taxa that commonly accumulate more than 100-fold higher leaf metal concentrations than non-accumulator plants growing in the same habitat. We focus on metal hyperaccumulation and associated hypertolerance in plants as model traits. In cross-species transcriptomics experiments employing Arabidopsis microarrays, a number of candidate genes were identified that are more highly expressed in the Zn/Cd hypertolerant metal hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri than in the closely related non-tolerant non-accumulator species Arabidopsis thaliana1,2,3. In order to analyze candidate gene functions, A. halleri was transformed with RNA interference constructs designed to silence selected metal homeostasis candidate genes using a newly developed transformation protocol for A. halleri. In a complementary gain-of-function approach, A. halleri candidate genes were introduced into A. thaliana to test their ability to confer metal tolerance or accumulation. These approaches demonstrated a central role for P1B-type Zn/Cd-ATPase3,4 membrane transport proteins in both metal hyperaccumulation and hypertolerance. In order to determine the cause of high candidate gene expression in A. halleri, DNA fragments containing the promoter regions of candidate genes were cloned from both A. halleri and A. thaliana, and promoter swap experiments were conducted. These experiments suggested roles of gene copy number expansion and cis-regulatory changes in the evolution of naturally selected metal hyperaccumulation and associated hypertolerance5. Our work on metal hyperaccumulation provides insights not only into how a complex physiological trait evolved, but also into how plant metal homeostasis networks can be effectively modified for phytoremediation, phytomining and bio-fortification.

As Director of the University’s Earth Education Research and Evaluation Team, Dr. Johnson leads a team conducting research on the effectiveness of earth education curriculum; the development and validation of measures to assess the ecological understandings and perceptions of students; and longitudinal studies of the development of ecological understandings, perceptions, and actions in children. Ecological Understandings: Teaching, Learning and Action Wednesday, 16th September 2009, 08:30-09:30, Audimax Living sustainable is a laudable goal. To really do so, though, is not easy. We must live as if we believe we are a part of ecological systems rather than separate from them. A first important step is to help people understand ecological systems, both in the natural world and in human societies. In addition, though, how we view our place and role in these systems is equally important. Teaching and learning must deal not only with understandings of ecological concepts but also with understandings of our personal ecological perceptions. In the end, action must be the outcome of education. But it is not enough to teach about ecological understandings and hope that action will happen. We must create learning experiences for actions that are just as carefully planned as those for understandings. This presentation will begin with a look at ways of helping learners build understandings of ecological systems and apply those understandings to their own lives. We will then look at how to help people examine their perceptions of their relationship with the natural world and how education can lead to changes in those perceptions. Next, strategies for building skills for and encouraging action will be presented. Finally, we will conclude with a call for implementing comprehensive education programs that include all three of these vital components. 11 Keynotes Professor Jens-Christian Svenning Department of Biological Sciences, Aarhus University Professor Svenning’s main research interests cover biogeography, macroecology, metacommunity ecology, global change biology, and conservation. With a starting point in the rapidly growing amount of digital data on biodiversity and the environment, Professor Svenning employs advanced geospatial analysis and modelling to study fundamental and strategic biodiversity questions such as: What determines the geographical distribution of biodiversity? How important is past and present climate? What are the likely consequences of the climate changes in progress? Plio-Pleistocene climate change and its impacts on species distributions and diversity patterns Wednesday, 16th September 2009, 16:00-17:00, Audimax A key issue in ecology and conservation biology is how climate change affects biodiversity. The Late Pliocene and Pleistocene (3.6 million to 11,500 years ago) is an important period for assessing the biotic impact of climate change, as it encompasses the onset of the major Northern Hemisphere glaciations and the subsequent numerous shifts between warm periods and cooler to very cold glacials. These climatic changes drove dramatic species range dynamics, mild to severe regional extinction events, and sometimes diversification in certain groups as well. Importantly, these past climate changes are still affecting the species distributions and diversity patterns of the present day. These findings have important implications for our expectations for the biodiversity impacts of the current anthropogenic climate change. 12 Dr. Julia Koricheva School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London Dr. Julia Koricheva is a Reader in Ecology at the School of Biological Sciences in RHUL. Her main research interests are in ecology and evolution of plant-herbivore interactions and in meta-analysis and its applications to ecological research synthesis. By combining theoretical and experimental approaches, Dr. Koricheva examines the role of abiotic and biotic factors affecting plant allocation to antiherbivore defences and the relative importance of various defensive mechanisms. Trade-offs in plant allocation to antiherbivore defences: a meagre support for a major concept Thursday, 17th September 2009, 08:30-09:30, Audimax Chemical and physical defences against herbivores are assumed to be costly for plants and many plant defense hypotheses predict the existence of trade-offs in plant allocation to defences versus growth and reproduction or trade-offs between plant allocation to different types of defences. I reviewed the evidence for such trade-offs by conducting several meta-analyses of empirical studies examining relationships between plant allocation to various types of defences versus growth and reproduction as well as ontogenetic changes in plant defences. The results indicate that strong trade-offs are rare and, whenever found, are often due to ecological rather than physiological costs. In many situations plants seem to be able to produce strong chemical or physical defences without compromising their growth and reproduction and often have more than one defence type. I discuss possible reasons for the lack of strong trade-offs. 13 Keynotes Professor Kenneth B. Storey Institute of Biochemistry, Carleton University, Canada Kenneth B. Storey holds the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Physiology. His research interest is in freeze tolerance in vertebrates, cold hardiness in insects and other invertebrates as well as metabolic rate depression and anoxia tolerance, hibernation and estivation. Life in the cold: a biochemist’s perspective on animals in winter Thursday, 17th September 2009, 15:00-16:00, Audimax Natural freeze tolerance is the key to winter survival for many cold-blooded animals in northern regions including various frogs that hibernate on the forest floor, hatchling turtles that overwinter in their natal nests, and many kinds of insects and other invertebrates. Animals often survive for weeks with as much as 65% of total body water frozen in extracellular ice masses. Freeze tolerance requires a wide range of molecular adaptations including strategies to manage ice growth, regulate cell volume, synthesize sugar cryoprotectants, maintain energetics in the absence of oxygen, and halt/restart vital functions such as heart beat and breathing. My lab uses genomic, proteomic and enzymatic technologies to study the biochemical adaptations that support freezing survival; such methods are now standardized to the point where they can become integral parts of the tool kit for many kinds of ecophysiological research. Work with our main model, the wood frog Rana sylvatica, has analyzed multiple contributions to natural freeze tolerance including carbohydrate cryoprotectants, ice management by specialized proteins, and multiple mechanisms of cell preservation that are critical for long term survival in the frozen state. These include protection against the anoxia/ischemia that develops when blood freezes, mechanisms of cell volume regulation, enhanced antioxidant defenses, proliferation of several kinds of protein chaperones, freeze-responsive gene expression, and mechanisms for coordinated metabolic arrest while in the frozen state. Studies of the natural mechanisms of freezing survival in animals not only solve the mystery of this amazing biological phenomenon but also point to exciting applications for use in medical organ preservation.

Cathrin Weimann et al. 87 Guided tours Guided tours Ecological Botanical Gardens The Ecological-Botanical Garden (ÖBG) was founded as a central institution of the University of Bayreuth in 1978. Within its boundaries (18 hectares in size) it accommodates over 10 000 plant species from all over the world. They are mostly grown in environments closely resembling their natural habitats. Not only is the diversity of plants displayed but also their ecological relationships and functions to contribute to the important task of nature conservation. The central task of the ÖBG is to support research and teaching of the university. It provides a range of facilities for educational and research purposes as extensive sample areas (8ha), a modern lysimeter, several ground water basins, a weather station, laboratories, a herbarium, a seed collection as well as an extensive library which forms part of the main university library. Every semester the scientific garden staff offers independent courses. Apart from research and teaching the garden serves the public for education and recreation. For GfÖ-participants, several guided tours are offered. There are general tours (2 hours) and tours with thematic focus (1 hour). The number of participants is limited to 25 for all tours; bookings were made during the online registration. Please ask at the conference office for vacant places – and let us know if you plan to cancel your booking. Meeting point for all tours: entrance area of the Ecological-Botanical Garden General tour (2 hours) Monday, 09:30-11:30 (in German) Wednesday, 18:00-20:00 (in German) Thursday, 17:00-19:00 (in German / English) Ziel der Führung ist es, einen umfassenden Überblick über den rund 18 ha großen Ökologisch-Botanischen Garten zu geben. Vorgestellt werden die tropischen Vegetationstypen in den Gewächshäusern, die vegetationsgeografischen Flächen im Freiland, der große Nutzpflanzengarten, diverse ökologische Spezialflächen sowie die vielfältigen Ressourcen für die ökologische Freilandforschung. Dabei soll auch darauf eingegangen werden, welche Bedeutung der botanische Garten für die Universität Bayreuth allgemein und speziell für die ökologische Forschung und Lehre hat. 88 Tours with thematic focus all on Tuesday, 18:00-19:00, prior to the social evening (all in German) Botanische Gärten und Neophyten Zier- und Nutzpflanzen bilden den Hauptteil sich spontan ausbreitender Neophyten bei uns. Botanische Gärten mit ihrer Vielfalt an exotischen Pflanzen sind deshalb nach wie vor eine potentielle Quelle für neue invasive Arten. Im ÖBG werden einerseits in einer speziellen Abteilung bekannte und weniger bekannte Neopyhten präsentiert sowie andererseits wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zu potentiell invasiven Arten durchgeführt. Beides ist Thema der Führung . Guide: Dr. Marianne Lauerer Freigelände Der Rundgang führt durch das Freigelände des ÖBG, in dem die Pflanzenwelt Asiens, Amerikas und Europas in naturnah gestalteten Lebensräumen (Wälder, Steppen und Prärien, Heiden, Feuchtgebiete u.a.) präsentiert werden. Dabei wird insbesondere auch darauf eingegangen, welche Bedeutung ökologische Prozesse und Funktionen im Garten haben und wie sie für Forschung, Lehre und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit genutzt werden. Guide: Dr. Gregor Aas, Direktor ÖBG Vegetation der Tropen Vorgestellt wird die Pflanzenwelt der rund 6000 m2 großen Gewächshäuser des ÖBG aus unterschiedlichen tropischen Lebensräumen (Tieflandregenwald, Mangrove, Nebelwald, Trockenwald). Eine Besonderheit ist das Spezialgewächshaus für die Pflanzen tropischer Hochgebirge (mit Pflanzen v.a. aus Ostafrika), sowie der umfangreiche Bestand an Pflanzen aus den Subtropen (Kübelpflanzen), die den Sommer über auf einer großzügig angelegten Fläche im Freien präsentiert werden. Guide: Dr. Alexandra Kehl EVENT experiment Thursday, 17:00-19:00 (in English) The EVENT experiment in the Ecological-Botanical Garden affects manipulations of climatic extremes that are expected to occur in the near future to perennial ecosystems and plant species. EVENT integrates groups from various research centres and universities and is part of the FORKAST project. This is done in EVENT 1 on artificially homogenized and drained substrate with defined numbers of plant individuals from grassland and heath communities. Here, drought, heavy rain and freeze-thaw cycles are applied. EVENT 2 adds to the manipulations of drought and heavy rain two intensities of mawing regime, increased winter precipitation and winter as well as summer warming in an old-growth grassland. EVENT 3 does focus on key species and compares the responses of European provenances to drought, heavy rain and warming. The LINDENHOF long-term experiment monitors since 1996/99 the responses of grasslands and succession starting with different numbers of species to the naturally occuring climatic variability. All experiments share some key species and are exposed to comparable environments. Guide: Prof. Anke Jentsch 89 Excursions Die Fränkische Alb Geologie, Flora und Vegetation eines jurassischen Mittelgebirges Ziel der Exkursion ist die nördliche Frankenalb, ein hauptsächlich aus jurassischen Sedimenten aufgebautes Mittelgebirge, dass durch spektakuläre Reliefformen, einen reichen Formenschatz von Verkarstungserscheinungen und durch eine reichhaltige Xerotherm-Flora ausgezeichnet ist. Auf der Exkursion werden die drei durch Quellhorizonte getrennten, geologisch sehr unterschiedlichen Stockwerke des Juras (Lias - Dogger - Malm) mit ihren verschiedenen Karst- und Erosionserscheinungen demonstriert, die wechselnde Vegetation, vom Schluchtwald bis zu den Wacholderheiden aufgesucht und erläutert sowie ein Überblick über die Landschaftsentwicklung gegeben. Wir besuchen eine Tropfsteinhöhle und lassen die Exkursion in einem der typischen Brauereigasthöfe der Frankenalb ausklingen.

The major focus was on the effects of deposition of air pollutants (Acid rain, N deposition), on the long term development of ecosystem and catchment functioning, on the carbon and water exchange, climatic controls of processes and fluxes and on hydrological pathways. Studies were conducted both at the plot and catchment scale. The goal of the excursion is to present the instrumentation and design of experimental plots as well as the results from past and ongoing studies. The focus is on atmosphere-vegetation exchange, on soil processes in upland and wetland soils and on the hydrology of the catchment. The excursion will be of benefit for those interested in environmental and biochemical research at the ecosystem and catchment scale.
