The DZG Fachgruppe Behavioural Biology and the Ethologischen Gesellschaft jointly support and organize a meeting for graduate students (PhD students) to present and discuss their research in an informal environment. The meeting will be hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen that has a long history of research in animal behaviour. With this meeting, we want to foster contacts and networking among graduate students interested in animal behaviour.
Invited speakers
Prof. Fritz Trillmich (Bielefeld):
Parent-offspring conflict about weaning
Prof. Judith Korb (Osnabrück):
What makes a termite queen: from ecology to genes
Prof. Wolfgang Wickler will give a review of the history of animal behaviour research in Seewiesen.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit ongoing research projects at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology. We also will have a round table discussion on research and career opportunities in behavioural biology with the invited speakers, organizers and Seewiesen staff scientists.
Organizers
Björn Siemers (Seewiesen, siemers@orn.mpg.de) & Jana Eccard (Potsdam)
Spokespersons of the DZG Fachgruppe Behavioural Biology
