370<p>The Leibniz-IZW is an internationally renowned German research institute. It is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. and a member of the Leibniz Association. Our goal is to understand the adaptability of wildlife in the context of global change and to contribute to the enhancement of the survival of viable wildlife populations. For this purpose, we investigate the diversity of life histories, the mechanisms of evolutionary adaptations and their limits, including diseases, as well as the interrelations of wildlife with their environment and people. We use expertise from biology and veterinary medicine in an interdisciplinary approach to conduct fundamental and applied research – from the molecular to the landscape level – in close dialogue with the public and stakeholders. Additionally, we are committed to unique and high-quality services for the scientific community.</p>

412<p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In the first few months of their lives, young golden eagles in the Alps learn how to navigate between the mountains and use thermals to soar to great heights – an essential skill for their survival. However, how quickly they acquire this ability or how skilfully they manage it does not influence the time at which they finally leave their parents’ territory. A new study of 92 young eagles fitted with GPS transmitters shows that it is the duration and altitude of their daily flights, rather than their skill in mastering thermals, that significantly influences their decision to lead an independent life.

425<p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Antibiotic resistance in humans and farm animals poses a major health challenge. A new study published in the journal ‘Nature Communications’ reveals that this problem does not stop at hospital doors or farm gates – indeed, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) can also be detected in wild animals. A team led by the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) and the Max Delbrück Center has shown that wild mice on farms carry around 50 percent of the ARGs found in cattle, pigs or poultry, and that the intensity of livestock farming, amongst other factors, plays a decisive role in determining which and how many resistance genes are transferred into the mice’s microbiome.</span></em></p>  </div>

438<p class="MsoNormal"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In mammals, males are usually stronger and more competitive than females. Males also show greater inequality in reproductive success – the number of offspring they produce – than females. In spotted hyenas, the opposite is true: reproductive inequality is greater in females than in males. The reason? Female spotted hyenas pass on their social rank and the associated privileges such as priority access to food to their offspring, whereas males do not. These are the findings of a new study on spotted hyenas spanning eight generations across eight clans in the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, carried out by the Ngorongoro Hyena Project of the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin (Le
438ibniz-IZW) and the Institut des Sciences de l’Évolution de Montpellier (ISEM). The study is published in the journal “Science Advances” and may explain why females are the more competitive sex in some species.</span></em></p>  </div>

The virus circulates between native mosquitoes and birds; human infections occur sporadically. Cases within the Berlin urban area have been reported during the summer months for several years, but until now it was not known which urban areas are conducive to the presence of WNV. Over a two-year period, a research team collected mosquitoes during the summer months from five closely neighbouring but distinct sites in Berlin and tested them for the presence of the virus. They found high infection rates in some of the mosquitoes, but the number of virus detections varied significantly between the sites. Urban planning has a significant influence on the infection rate of mosquitoes, the team concluded in a paper in the journal “Nature Communications”.</span></em></p>  </div>

For the first time, scientists have now sequenced and analysed the two-toed sloth genome and revealed the genetics behind their extremely slow metabolism. By mapping their evolution, the international team discovered sloth-specific ‘jumping genes’ that have been conserved over millions of years and are linked to the metabolism. The results, published in the journal BMC Biology, reveal insights into the genetics behind the sloth’s unique biology. This could pave the way for further research into metabolism-related conditions and ageing in other mammals, including humans.</span></em></p>  </div>

Prior to their release, the horses acclimatised for twelve months at the Wild Equid Reintroduction Center, where they were closely monitored by a team of wildlife veterinarians, biologists and caretakers.
