Program DZG 2014 Liebe Tagungsteilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer,

Satellite Symposia im Namen der Göttinger Zoologen begrüßen wir Sie ganz herzlich zur 107. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Zoologischen Gesellschaft in Göttingen. Besondere Grüße gehen an die vielen jungen Wissenschaftler und die zahlreichen internationalen Tagungsredner. Wir freuen uns sehr über die große Resonanz auf unsere Tagungseinladung und die zahlreichen Tagungsbeiträge, die spannende Einblicke in neueste Entwicklungen in der zoologischen Entwicklungsbiologie, Physiologie, Neurobiologie, Morphologie, Ökologie, Verhaltensbiologie, Systematik und Evolutionsbiologie versprechen. Behavioral Biology Die Georg-August-Universität Göttingen hat eine wesentliche Rolle in der Geschichte der Deutschen Zoologie gespielt. Der Arzt und Naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840)

gilt als Vater der vergleichenden Zoologie und der biologischen Anthropologie, der Zoologe Developmental Ernst Ehlers (1835-1925) war Präsident der DZG, der Genetiker und Entwicklungsphysiologe Biology Alfred Kühn (1885-1968) verfasste das bekannte und noch immer weithin eingesetzte Lehrbruch „Grundriss der Allgemeinen Zoologie“, und der Zoologe Peter Ax (1927-2013) war einer der

Ecology wichtigsten Deutschen Vertreter der Phylogenetischen Systematik. Nach den DZG-Tagungen in den Jahren 1889, 1923 und 1966 findet die Tagung zum vierten Mal in Göttingen statt, und wir bedanken uns ganz herzlich bei allen, die bei der Organisation und Ausrichtung der Tagung mitwirken. Dies gilt insbesondere für die vielen Sponsoren und die Evolutionary Biology Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, die die Tagung finanziell unterstützen, die vielen Studenten, die bei der Vorort-Betreuung mitwirken, die Firma „event lab.“ und die Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Morphology Wir freuen uns über Ihre Teilnahme, auf Ihre Beiträge und auf anregende Diskussionen.

Neurobiology Im Namen der lokalen Organisatoren, der Fakultät für Biologie und Psychologie und des Instituts für Zoologie und Anthropologie der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

Developmental Biology Göttingen Göttingen is a university city with approximately 122,000 inhabitants. Education and research are defining aspects of life in Göttingen. Four Max Planck Institutes Ecology are active here as well as the German Primate Center, DLR, Germany‘s national research center for aeronautics and space, the Sociological Research Institute and the University for Applied Sciences and Arts. Göttingen has been the home Evolutionary of 44 Nobel laureates. Internationally, Göttingen has a well-established reputati- Biology on as “the city that creates knowledge.” The campus boasts one of the world‘s most modern libraries, the State and Uni-

Morphology versity Library. Two theaters, a municipal concert hall offering lots of variety, a symphony orchestra, and numerous galleries, museums, and small stages shape the city‘s cultural life. The International Handel Festival, which was established

Neurobiology in 1920, is world-famous. The annual highlight is the performance of the major Handel operas staged by renowned guest conductors and directors. The Göttin- gen music scene also features jazz, rock, church music and modern classics.

Hence, most of what we know in terms of gene function is restricted to these model systems and to biological processes represented there. Since recently, new technical developments allow extending functional genetics to more species: New generation sequencing is used for the detection of genes, RNA interference (RNAi) can knock down gene function in many species

Behavioral and recently, the CRISPR system has been established to generate targeted Biology mutations. Further, transgenic techniques based on widely applicable transposon systems can be used in many model species and the large scale RNAi screen

Developmental iBeetle is detecting novel gene functions independent from theDrosophila Biology paradigm.

We will give an overview on the use of these techniques and the respective Ecology prerequisites that are needed to establish them in the organism of choice. In the discussion we will share our experience in applying these new tools to novel We are delighted to invite you to our social dinner on Sunday, Sept. 14th which model systems. will take place at the Restaurant “Bullerjahn”.
