ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. M.S. Fischer for giving me the opportunity to do research on these fascinating animals. This dissertation would not have been possible without the constant help of my colleagues. In particular I am indebted to my fellow PhD candidates, some of which ‐ of course ‐ already earned their degrees. I am grateful for the many enlightening discussions and practical support. I have listed the detailed acknowledgements at the end of each chapter. Last but not least I want to thank my family for the encouragement and support to commence and finish this project.
