Getting Published and Mastering Peer Review (workshop)

  • Beginn: 07.07.2025
  • Ende: 08.07.2025
  • 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.

Courtship complexity: insights from Neotropical birds

Institute Seminar by Lilian Manica
  • Datum: 08.07.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Lilian Manica
  • Lilian Tonelli Manica is a professor in the Department of Zoology at the Federal University of Paraná and advise students at the Graduate Program in Zoology and Graduate Program in Ecology and Conservation of the same institution. She coordinates the Behavioural Ecology and Ornithology Lab, developing projects to understand the importance of immediate and evolutionary mechanisms in the production of bird behaviors. Her interests include sexual selection, communication, migration, mating systems and conservation. Her work explores, among other topics, cooperative displays in manakins, the relationship between parasitism and ornamentation, and environmental impacts on bird ecology.

Courtship displays, driven by sexual selection, are fascinating behaviors across a wide range of animal taxa. Birds, in particular, serve as excellent study models due to their often multimodal sexual exhibitions, which involve various sensory modalities such as coloration, body movements, and ... [mehr]
Vultures play a vital ecological role as obligate scavengers, yet they are among the most threatened bird groups worldwide, facing critical challenges such as poisoning, habitat change, and human-wildlife conflict. As highly mobile species, their survival depends on understanding how they interact ... [mehr]
