    Abstract Facial mimicry is the automatic imitation of the facial affect expressions of others. It serves as an important component of interpersonal communication and affective co-experience. Facial mimicry has so far been measured by Electromyography (EMG), which requires a complex measuring apparatus. Recently, software for measuring facial expressions have become available, but it is still unclear how well it is suited for measuring facial mimicry. This study investigates the comparability of the automated facial coding software Affdex with EMG for measuring facial mimicry. For this purpose, facial mimicry was induced in 33 subjects by presenting naturalistic affect-expressive video sequences (anger, joy). The response of the subjects is measured simultaneously by facial EMG (corrugator supercilii muscle, zygomaticus major muscle) and by Affdex (action units lip corner puller and brow lowerer and affects joy and anger). Subsequently, the correlations between the measurement results of EMG and Affdex were calculated. After the presentation of the joy stimulus, there was an increase in zygomaticus muscle activity (EMG) about 400 ms after stimulus onset and an increase in joy and lip corner puller activity (Affdex) about 1200 ms after stimulus onset. The joy and the lip corner puller activity detected by Affdex correlate significantly with the EMG activity. After presentation of the anger stimulus, corrugator muscle activity (EMG) also increased approximately 400 ms after stimulus onset, whereas anger and brow lowerer activity (Affdex) showed no response. During the entire measurement interval, anger activity and brow lowerer activity (Affdex) did not correlate with corrugator muscle activity (EMG). Using Affdex, the facial mimicry response to a joy stimulus can be measured, but it is detected approximately 800 ms later compared to the EMG. Thus, electromyography remains the tool of choice for studying subtle mimic processes like facial mimicry.

    Abstract Aquatic and their adjacent terrestrial ecosystems are linked via the flux of organic and inorganic matter. Emergent aquatic insects are recognized as high-quality food for terrestrial predators, because they provide more physiologically relevant long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than terrestrial insects. The effects of dietary PUFA on terrestrial predators have been explored mainly in feeding trials conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, hampering the assessment of the ecological relevance of dietary PUFA deficiencies under field conditions. We assessed the PUFA transfer across the aquatic-terrestrial interface and the consequences for terrestrial riparian predators in two outdoor microcosm experiments. We established simplified tritrophic food chains, consisting of one of four basic food sources, an intermediary collector gatherer (

    Abstract Resource quantity and quality can differ between adjacent ecosystems, and these differences can impact subsidies exchanged between ecosystems. The quantity and quality of subsidies are rapidly changing in response to stressors associated with global environmental change, but while we have models to predict the effects of changes in subsidy quantity, we currently lack models to predict the effects of changes in subsidy quality on recipient ecosystem functioning. We developed a novel model to predict the effects of subsidy quality on recipient ecosystem biomass distribution, recycling, production, and efficiency. We parameterized the model for a case study of a riparian ecosystem subsidized by pulsed emergent aquatic insects. In this case study we focused on a common measure of subsidy quality that differs between riparian and aquatic ecosystems: the higher content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in aquatic ecosystems. We analyzed how changes in the PUFA concentration of aquatic subsidies affect the dynamics in biomass stocks and functions of the riparian ecosystem. We also conducted a global sensitivity analysis to identify key drivers of subsidy impacts. Our analysis showed that subsidy quality increased the functioning of the recipient ecosystem. Recycling increased more strongly than production per unit subsidy quality increase, meaning there was a threshold where an increase in subsidy quality led to stronger effects of subsidies on recycling relative to the production of the recipient ecosystem. Our predictions were most sensitive to basal nutrient input, highlighting the relevance of recipient ecosystem nutrient levels to understanding the effects of ecosystem connections. We argue that recipient ecosystems that rely on high-quality subsidies, such as aquatic-terrestrial ecotones, are highly sensitive to changes in subsidy-recipient ecosystem connections. Our novel model unifies the subsidy hypothesis and food quality hypothesis and provides testable predictions to understand the effects of ecosystem connections on ecosystem functioning under global changes.

    Abstract Durch die Aufzeichnung von elektrophysiologischen Signalen während der Verarbeitung von emotionaler Information bei alexithymen Menschen können wichtige Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden. Mithilfe solcher Daten lassen sich - zumindest ansatzweise objektiv - theoretische Annahmen zur Ätiologie alexithymer Merkmale überprüfen. Psychophysiologische Daten können außerdem unter anderem darüber Auskunft geben, ob bei alexithymen Personen vegetative oder auch zentralnervöse Veränderungen vorliegen, die möglicherweise die Ausbildung und Aufrechterhaltung von körperlichen und seelischen Krankheitssymptomen begünstigen. Die auf diesem Weg gewonnenen Erkenntnisse tragen dazu bei, alexithyme Merkmale und damit verbundene klinische Symptome besser zu verstehen, und können langfristig dazu dienen, bessere therapeutische Ansätze zu entwickeln, um alexithymen Menschen zu helfen.

    Abstract Die Entwicklung der Fähigkeit, eigene Affektzustände als Gefühle differenziert wahrzunehmen und sprachlich zu kommunizieren, beruht auf Erfahrungen im affektgesteuerten Austausch zwischen Kind und elterlichen Bezugspersonen; die verinnerlichten affektbezogenen Regulationserfahrungen des Kindes manifestieren sich in unterschiedlichen Bindungsmustern und resultieren letztendlich in einer mehr oder weniger alexithymen Wahrnehmung, Verarbeitung und Kommunikation von Affektzuständen. In diesem Kontext wird die Bedeutung der Basisaffekte für die Entwicklung einer sicheren Bindung, einer kompetenten Affektregulation und Mentalisierungsfähigkeit beschrieben. Am Beispiel der fazialen Mimikry, also der Fähigkeit, auf affektexpressive Mimik mimisch resonant zu reagieren, werden die Auswirkungen alexithymer Beeinträchtigungen aufgezeigt.
