Eidesstattliche Erklärung
Hiermit versichere ich, dass ich die vorliegende Dissertation selbstständig angefertigt und nur die
angegebenen Hilfsmittel verwendet habe. Von mir verwendete Quellen sind als solche
gekennzeichnet. Diese Arbeit hat bisher in gleicher oder ähnlicher Form keinem anderen
Prüfungsverfahren vorgelegen. Am 15.12.2006 hat mir die Universität Bonn den akademischen Grad
der Diplom‐Biologin verliehen. Weitere akademische Grade habe ich weder erworben noch versucht
zu erwerben.
