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.

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.
Volkmar Wolters
President of the GfÖ

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Biogeochemical research
at the Lehstenbach Catchment, Germany
Geoökologische Versuchsflächen im Fichtelgebirge
Ecosystem research in forested catchments at the University of Bayreuth
has been concentrated in the Fichtelgebirge area and lasted for about 20
years until now. 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.
