Woher stammen die heute rund 100 Arten der Stärlinge, und wie haben sie sich über Nord- und Südamerika ausgebreitet? Dr. Axel Arango Garcia und Professor Chaitanya S. Gokhale vom Lehrstuhl für Computational and Theoretical Biology (CCTB) der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) haben die Evolutionsgeschichte dieser Vogelfamilie rekonstruiert. Ihre Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Vorfahren der heutigen Arten höchstwahrscheinlich aus Nordamerika stammten und sich über Millionen von Jahren schrittweise nach Süden ausbreiteten.

Decision-making is often about identifying trade-offs. When considering the development of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), one of the trade-offs that might arise is between prioritising sovereignty and service stability.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and data-driven technologies have improved efficiency in various sectors, including tax collection, e-government, agriculture, security, healthcare, and transport. In August, the International Policy Advice and Coordination Community of Practice conducted a webinar on how digital innovations have improved policymaking for peer learning and the mutual benefit of members.

Zum Wintersemester 2004/05 führte die Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) als erste Hochschule im süddeutschen Raum ein Frühstudium ein. Dieses ermöglicht es besonders begabten und interessierten Schülerinnen und Schülern, ab der 10. Klasse – in Sonderfällen auch ab der 9. Klasse – reguläre Lehrveranstaltungen zu belegen, an Prüfungen teilzunehmen und die erbrachten Leistungen für ein späteres Studium anrechnen zu lassen.

Wenn Pflanzenwurzeln verletzt werden – beispielsweise durch Insekten –, bricht der hydraulische Druck in der Wurzel zusammen, und diese Druckwelle breitet sich mit hoher Geschwindigkeit im gesamten Wurzelsystem aus. In benachbarten Wurzeln erkennen winzige Proteine, die wie kleine mechanische Drucksensoren funktionieren, die Veränderung und erzeugen elektrische sowie Ca²⁺-Signale.
Letztendlich löst die Verletzung in den benachbarten Wurzeln so die Synthese von Stresshormonen aus, wodurch diese sich auf den bevorstehenden Angriff vorbereiten.
