Confocal laser scanning microscopy image
of the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici (in green) during the infection of a wheat leaf. The hyphae of Z. tritici is visible in green. The tip of the hyphae (in the back) is penetrating an open stoma on the leaf surface. By courtesy of Janine Haueisen, Stukenbrock group.
A sea anemone from the Mediterranean (Anemonia sulcata)
Symbiontic algae are responsible for the purple colour of the tips of the tentacles. By courtesy of Thorsten Reusch.
A male blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla).
Our focal study species to study the genetic architecture of migratory traits. By courtesy of Miriam Liedvogel.
A freshwater polyp Hydra oligactis
bearing a germ-cell tumor. It represents the first reported and thoroughly described malignant cancer in a pre-bilaterian animal. By courtesy of Thomas Bosch.
The solitary bee Rediviva longimanus
is endemic to the Greater Cape Floristic Region. With the elongated forelegs it collects floral oil from the spurs of its host plants of the genus Diascia. By courtesy of Michael Kuhlmann.
The common starfish Asterias rubens
climbing a seagrass leave in the Baltic Sea in search of recently settled blue mussels as prey. By courtesy of Thorsten Reusch.
The marine midge Clunio marinus
is a model organism for biological clock research. By courtesy of Tobias Kaiser.
A Transgenic Hydra
expressing GFP in the head. The Hydra Transgenic Facility allows us to explore the function of different genes and proteins in vivo in a traditional developmental model. By courtesy of Thomas Bosch.

of a pregnant pipefish male (Syngnathus typhle) filled with embryos that are connected to a placenta-like structure. By courtesy of Olivia Roth.

Pathogenic Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria
marked by Red Fluorescent Protein, have infected and overgrown the body of a Caenorhabditis elegans nematode. By courtesy of Andrei Papkou, Schulenburg group.
The fluorescent dye DAPI
is commonly used to stain the DNA in the nuclei of Caenorhabditis elegans body cells, thus visualizing the nematode’s anatomy. By courtesy of Hinrich Schulenburg
Mouse testicular cell spreads.
Mice have 19 Autosome pairs and two sex chromosomes. The DNA is stained using DAPI in blue. Synaptonemal Complex Protein syp3 is stained in green using syp3 primary and Alexa-Flour-488 secondary antobodies. By courtesy of Alina Jeschke, Odenthal-Hesse group.
