Effect of urbanisation on space use in sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita)

Rado Seminar by Sofia Bolcato
Urbanisation is expected to shape animal movement in several predictable ways. For example, a major review in carnivores found that most studied species exhibit a decreasing home range size with increasing urbanisation, likely caused by high-quality resources and increased landscape heterogeneity ...

Adaptation in multiple plant-insect interactions and one scientist’s career

Institute Seminar by Carina Baskett
  • Datum: 29.04.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Carina Baskett
  • Carina Baskett completed her PhD in 2018 in plant evolutionary ecology advised by Doug Schemske and Marjorie Weber at Michigan State University, USA. She did a postdoc with Nick Barton at Institute of Science and Technology-Austria outside Vienna, studying flower color variation in wild snapdragons. In 2021, she transitioned from research to grant writing and professional development in an interdisciplinary microbiology research center at Georgia Tech, USA. After three years, she moved back to Vienna and is coordinating a collaborative grant and a graduate program at Vetmeduni. When not at work or moving across the Atlantic, she is chasing after two kids and/or climbing.

  • Kontakt: tmontgomery@ab.mpg.de
A fundamental question at the intersection of ecology and evolution is how do biotic and abiotic environments differentially influence adaptation and diversification? The abiotic environment can change, but it cannot coevolve (a process of reciprocal adaptation). This profound difference is ... [mehr]

Reciprocity in animals

Institute Seminar by Gerry Carter
  • Datum: 06.05.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Gerry Carter
  • I'm an Associate Professor at Princeton University, a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), and a Freeman Hrabowski Scholar at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. I was previously an Associate Professor at The Ohio State University, a Humboldt Fellow at MPI-AB (then Ornithology) in Konstanz, and a Smithsonian Postdoc Fellow at STRI. I did my PhD with Jerry Wilkinson at the University of Maryland. Outside work, my hobbies are that my kids are 4 and 2 years old.

  • Kontakt: ehurme@ab.mpg.de
Reciprocity has been a controversial topic in behavioral ecology for over 40 years. How often is cooperation between animals stabilized by conditional responses to each partner's helping (reciprocity)? How often are cooperative investments explained by product returns (pseudo-reciprocity)? I argue ... [mehr]

Blackcap migration - adaptation in time and space

Institute Seminar by Miriam Liedvogel
  • Datum: 17.06.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Miriam Liedvogel
  • Miriam Liedvogel is Director of the Institute of Avian Research “Vogelwarte Helgoland” and Professor of Ornithology at Carl-von-Ossietzky University Oldenburg. She is fascinated by the phenomenon of bird migration and with her research asks, how this fascinating behaviour is controlled, coordinated and regulated on the molecular level? To address this question, she links careful behavioural observation and state-of-the-art tracking migration in the wild to carefully characterise migratory behaviour under controlled conditions as well as free flying birds, with whole genome sequencing and gene expression approaches to match genotype to phenotype. Her work is funded through the European Commission (Marie Curie Fellowship), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Feodor Lynen Fellowship), the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Max Planck Society (MPG). Miriam has been awarded various prices and fellowships, e.g. an award for outstanding supervision by the Universitätsgesellschaft Oldenburg (UGO), the JED Williams Medal for her committee work. Besides regularly talking at both national and international scientific conferences, Miriam enjoys to communicate science to children and the general public.

Understanding the genetics of bird migration is a long-standing goal in evolutionary biology. Blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla are ideal for this work as different populations exhibit enormous difference in migratory behaviour and little else. We characterize (i) phenotype, population structure and ... [mehr]

Scientific Writing (workshop)

  • Beginn: 03.07.2025
  • Ende: 04.07.2025
  • Vortragende(r): Brian Cusack, Science Craft
  • Dr. Brian Cusack comes from Cork, Ireland and received his Ph.D. in Genetics from Trinity College, Dublin in 2007. During his Ph.D. Brian received the kind of mentoring that he continues to consider as the gold-standard for graduate students. After completing his first postdoc at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, Brian conducted post-doctoral research in evolutionary genomics at the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin. In February 2012, together with Rick Scavetta, Brian co-founded Science Craft in Berlin. Since then Brian has provided high-level training workshops for more than a thousand researchers throughout Germany as well as in Norway and China.
