According to a recent study by Hirofumi Nakagami at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) played a crucial role in the adaptation of plants to land. PTI is present in all vascular plants, including crops, and could aid in the development of more resistant plant species.

New study from the Klein department finds novel mechanism regulating eating behavior: the ‘hunger hormone’ ghrelin activates specialized neurons in the amygdala, which regulate appetite and cause the pleasure of eating. Read the paper:

Female sex-role reversal of two coucal bird species is apparently linked to elevated testosterone levels. Male sex-role reversal, however, doesn't require low testosterone levels, as a new study by Wolfgang Goymann shows:

Earlier morning activity of blue tits correlates with higher reproductive success outside the partnership. But getting up early doesn’t necessarily mean more offspring. It could rather be an expression of fitness.

Scientists in Herwig Baier’s department created detailed gene expression maps of the zebrafish brain. They integrated them into the existing Max Planck Zebrafish Brain atlas – an open-source tool that can be expanded by the scientific community. Its accessibility makes the atlas an important tool for zebrafish researchers.

Two new studies illustrate how the breeding behaviors of cuckoos and Daurian redstarts co-evolve. Redstarts move their nesting sites closer to human settlements to protect their nest against brood parasitism. Cuckoos use an egg matching strategy to find the optimal host nest for their eggs.
