Understanding the foraging behaviour of Phyllostomus hastatus: Over time shared foraging hotspots without coordinated foraging

Rado Seminar by Camila Calderon
  • Date: Mar 24, 2023
  • Time: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Camila Calderon
  • Location: Hybrid meeting
  • Room: Seminar room MPI-AB Möggingen + Online
  • Host: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
How animals find unpredictable resources and avoid competition is an ongoing topic in ecology. Greater spear-nosed bats (Phyllostomus hastatus) are facultative social foragers that live in stable groups of genetically unrelated, but highly cooperative females. Female Phyllostomus often forage ... [more]

Venturing into basic ornithological research – looking back on 37 years at the „Vogelwarte“ / In Ornithologische Grundlagenforschung einsinkend – ein Rückblick auf 37 Jahre an der „Vogelwarte Radolfzell“

This talk will focus on the background, aims and rationale of my scientific endeavours, asking (myself) what I actually worked on in Radolfzell, and why? Looking back on so many years in the same and yet ever-changing institute, the question arises if the paths I chose where at all purposeful and/or ... [more]

  • Location: Hybrid meeting
  • Room: Seminar room MPI-AB Möggingen + Online
  • Host: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
I will talk about fundamental characteristics of the call repertoire of our jackdaws, and why Corvids could be a good model to investigate vocal communication. We used spectro analysis to investigate how a typical call looks like. Furthermore, I will show our progress in using mathematical ... [more]
