A functional sperm tail is essential for successful reproduction. Defects in its development often lead to infertility. This is also shown by a recent international study involving researchers from Würzburg.

When ant pupae are infected by pathogens, they change their body odour. In this way, they warn the colony of the risk of infection - and thus seal their death.

Glossy flowers are visible to bees from a distance, but make color recognition difficult up close. They thus represent a visual compromise of nature, as a new study by the University of Würzburg shows.

Even in sunny forest gaps, browsing by roe deer prevents the natural regeneration of many tree species. Researchers at the University of Würzburg show just how strongly these ungulates shape forest development.

A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Researchers at the University of Würzburg have shown that only four specialized nerve cells are necessary to drive the animals' endogenous clock.

Carpenter ants are not squeamish when it comes to caring for the wounded. To minimise the risk of infection, the insects immediately amputate injured legs – thereby more than doubling their survival rate.

Healthy growth of wheat, maize and other crops is not possible without the plant's own hormones. Professor Ulrich Hammes is investigating the proteins that help the hormones reach their sites of action.

Fruit flies in the home? Professor Silke Sachse from the Biocentre, an expert on these insects, has some simple tips.

Dr. Mariana Prokopuk studies invasive aquatic plant species and their adaptation to new habitats. She is currently at the University of Würzburg on a Coimbra Group scholarship.

Walks around the Würzburg Hubland campus with University Chancellor Uwe Klug, with the "Living Campus" initiative or with students in the campus garden: A total of 20 new short films deal with sustainability at the university.

Improving biodiversity and maintaining yields at the same time? For many, this sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, a new study by the University of Würzburg shows that both are possible under the right conditions.

It is highly likely that the female menstrual cycle was originally synchronized with the lunar cycle. This has changed significantly with the rise of artificial light and smartphones, as a new study by the University of Würzburg shows.
