DESCRIPTION:ATF-certification: 12 hours - ATF-Anerkennung: 12 Stunden\n\nT
 opic\nMole-rats are subterranean mammals native to Africa with a fascinati
 ng gamut of biological adaptations and traits. Their underground niche pro
 vides protection against predators and oscillating environmental condition
 s but simultaneously imposes a plethora of environmental pressures on sens
 ory\, thermoregulatory\, and metabolic systems. Mole-rats are extremely we
 ll-adapted to their habitats\, displaying many innovative ecophysiological
  adaptations at the morphological\, physiological\, behavioral and molecul
 ar levels.\n \nThis conference aims to bring together established experts
  studying mole-rats across a wide scope of research themes and researchers
  that have recently realized the potential of these non-model organisms to
  their line of research. We aim to create opportunities for new internatio
 nal cooperation to emerge. Finally\, since establishing successful breedin
 g colonies in a laboratory setting can be very challenging but is crucial 
 to much of this research\, we have combined a fascinating scientific progr
 am looking into diverse research themes utilizing state-of-the art technol
 ogy in metabolism\, sensory biology\, physiology\, and omics together with
  a workshop on how to establish\, maintain and conduct laboratory animal s
 cience within these species.\n\n \nConfirmed Speakers\nJonathan Bayerl\,
