GRK 837: Functional Insect Science

研究培训小组提供多学科研究和培训方案。来自参与的四所大学(波茨坦大学、自由大学、洪堡大学和柏林工业大学)不同动物学学科的科学家为研究和培训方案做出了贡献。博士生在昆虫功能科学的方方面面接受培训，从了解单细胞生理过程的分子基础，到生物结构和功能机制的复杂性，包括体液和神经调节机制，与种内和种间交流相关的复杂行为，以及学习和记忆机制。研究和培训方案的这种广泛方法考虑到这样一个事实，即对复杂生理过程的研究和理解既需要对分子基础的研究，也需要在系统-组织层面上的研究，反之亦然。

The Research Training Group offers a multidisciplinary research and training programme. Scientists from various zoological disciplines of the participating four universities (University of Potsdam, Free University, Humboldt University, and Technical University of Berlin) contribute to the research and training programme. The PhD students are trained in all aspects of functional insect science, from the understanding of the molecular basis of physiological processes in single cells, up to the complexity of biological structures and functional mechanisms, including humoral and neural regulatory mechanisms, complex behaviour associated with intra- and interspecific communication, and mechanisms of learning and memory. This broad approach of the research and training programme takes into account the fact that research on and understanding of complex physiological processes requires both, studies of the molecular bases and on the systemic-organismic level, and vice versa.
