DESCRIPTION: The Amazon contains over half of the planet’s remaining trop
 ical forests and supports a disproportionately large share of global biodi
 versity. Yet this ecosystem faces escalating pressures\, including acceler
 ating deforestation\, widespread fire use\, and the growing impacts of cli
 mate change. These threats are especially acute in the southern Brazilian 
 Amazon\, a region at the heart of the Arc of Deforestation and experiencin
 g some of the highest forest loss rates in the basin. As threats advance a
 nd climate pressures intensify\, an urgent question emerges: how are mamma
 ls responding\, surviving\, or disappearing within this rapidly transformi
 ng Amazon landscape? In this lecture\, I present results of studies that e
 xamine how deforestation\, forest fragmentation\, and climate‑driven hab
 itat changes influence terrestrial mammals across ecological scales.\nVort

DESCRIPTION: Predation is a multistage process shaped by behavioral decisio
 ns that unfold from rest to pursuit\, with each stage shaped by interactin
 g environmental\, social\, and prey-related factors. Decomposing this sequ
 ence offers a mechanistic understanding of predator–prey interactions\, 
 as drivers of success may vary or even oppose one another across stages. H
 owever\, empirical integration of fine-scale behavioral transitions across
  the full predation sequence in free-ranging large carnivores remains limi
 ted by data resolution. In my PhD\, I collected high-resolution thermal dr
 one data to investigate the stepwise decision-making process of African li
 ons\, from inactivity to movement\, prey search\, encounter\, and eventual
  hunting attempts. This data provides unprecedented real-time insights int
 o fine-scale behavioral transitions and predator–prey interactions\, but
  poses analytical challenges\, particularly when trying to coherently inte
 grate prey occurrences and lion movement for state classification and tran
 sition modelling. This talk will give a brief introduction to the conceptu
 al framework and data structure of my research\, and then focus on an open
  discussion about analytical approaches suitable for identifying environme
 ntal and prey-related factors influencing the shift from prey-searching to
  active pursuit.\nVortragende(r): Elena Iannino

DESCRIPTION: Workplace bullying is increasingly recognized as a serious thr

 ed States it is still framed primarily as a legal or interpersonal issue r
 ather than a public health concern. Drawing on survey data from 729 higher
  education professionals\, this presentation examines workplace bullying a
 s a chronic stressor with measurable consequences for physical\, psycholog
 ical\, and relational well being. Findings demonstrate strong associations
  between bullying and insomnia\, anxiety\, depression\, elevated blood pre
 ssure\, increased substance use\, and suicidal ideation\, as well as dimin
 ished interest in physical intimacy and strained home relationships. Groun
 ded in spillover theory\, the session illustrates how unresolved workplace
  harm migrates beyond the job\, disrupting family life\, health behaviors\
 , and long term wellness. Particular attention is given to the disproporti
 onate burden experienced by women\, people of color\, and gender and sexua
 l minorities\, highlighting bullying as both a health equity and retention
  issue. The presentation also interrogates the normalization of self medic
 ation and the quiet reliance on pharmaceuticals as coping mechanisms withi
 n high stress work cultures. Participants will be invited to reframe bully
 ing as a health harming workplace condition and to consider proactive well
 ness centered responses. Practical recommendations are offered for institu
 tions seeking to move beyond individual resilience narratives toward preve
 ntion\, accountability\, and cultures of dignity that protect both people

DESCRIPTION: Gulls are a taxonomic group of birds known for their flexible\
 , opportunistic behaviour\, their use of a wide range of habitats\, and th
 eir strong response to human activities. Since 2008\, we have GPS-tracked 
 more than 800 individuals of seven gull species in Europe and three in the
  Americas. We have addressed a variety of biological and ecological questi
 ons as well as several applied topics on conservation and human pressures.
  In this seminar talk I will focus on two species and topics. 1) How track
 ing helps us to understand behavioural plasticity: We studied the distribu
 tion\, foraging behaviour\, and habitat choices of Common Gulls (<i>Larus 
 canus</i>) in nine breeding colonies in northern Germany\, including sites
  in the North Sea\, the Baltic Sea\, as well as inland. Common Gulls use a
  mosaic of habitat patches\, depending on their availability and suitabili
 ty. As opportunistic species\, they demonstrate wide phenotypic plasticity
  across different anthropogenic landscapes. 2) How tracking helps us to un
 derstand migratory connectivity and species' ecology: It has only recently
  become possible to tag small gull species with high-resolution tags. This
  allowed us to tag Little Gulls (<i>Hydrocoloeus minutus</i>)\, a scarce a
 nd poorly understood species of high conservation concern\, at the western
  edge of their distribution in the eastern Baltic Sea. The birds from this
  small breeding colony spread out during migration and winter across half 
 of Europe. Their main wintering areas are located in the Mediterranean Sea
  and the eastern North Atlantic. Little Gulls were almost exclusively mari
 ne throughout their entire migration cycle\, using habitats ranging from e
 stuaries to the deep sea. These two examples illustrate the strong potenti
 al of GPS tracking to understand the migration and habitat choices of gull
 s.\nVortragende(r): Stefan Garthe

DESCRIPTION: Large predators have a talent for stirring strong feelings. We
  admire them\, fear them\, argue about them\, and then write long papers a
 bout how everything is going wrong. This talk takes a different path. It a
 sks a simple question: what do large predators <i>do</i> for ecosystems—
 and why does that matter for people who depend on biodiversity\, whether t
 hey like predators or not? Across many systems\, the return or loss of lar
 ge predators sets off ecological cascades that often improve biodiversity 
 and the services nature provides. But these gains are not free. Predators 
 also bring “social cascades\,” such as conflict with people\, with lio
 ns as a familiar example. So\, the real story is not just about benefits\,
  but about trade-offs. Using examples from southern Africa\, I compare pre
 dators in large\, wet systems like Kruger\, in large\, dry systems like th
 e Kgalagadi\, and in small\, fragmented parks. In Kruger\, nature is shape
 d by big swings in climate\, while local human pressures like poisoning an
 d snaring leave sharp scars. Disease risk\, however\, is usually low\, bec
 ause big populations allow host–disease systems to stay dynamic. In the 
 Kgalagadi\, disease and human-caused deaths are less important\, but confl
 ict with people sets very different limits. In small parks\, the rules cha
 nge again. Instead of asking only how bad things are—and arguing mainly 
 about values—I suggest a simple shift in thinking. We should not ask wha
 t ecosystems <i>should</i> look like\, but what <i>processes</i> they need
  to keep working. A unified “meta-population” view of predators can gu
 ide us across all these settings: how to keep intact systems intact\, how 
 to repair broken ones\, and how to simulate key processes where systems ar
 e heavily altered. This also means facing an uncomfortable truth: ethicall
 y managing wildlife includes managing death\, within a clear duty of care\
 , and in ways that allow species’ own coping strategies to play out. If 
 we do that well\, we create room for many tactics in a fast-changing world
 —one where humans still hold social and economic values\, and where larg
 e predators can continue to support both nature and human well-being.\nVor

DESCRIPTION:Expanding wind energy requires reliable ways to assess collisio
 n risks for birds\, especially for protected species. We present a probabi
 listic framework that translates animal movement data into spatially expli
 cit estimates of collision risk at wind turbines. Using GPS tracking of di
 fferent breeding birds (such as the red kite)\, the approach combines info
 rmation on space use\, flight height\, and avoidance behaviour to identify
  where and when collision risk is most likely to occur. Model predictions 
 are evaluated against independent field data on observed fatalities and sh
 ow good agreement. The framework is designed to support evidence-based pla
 nning by highlighting comparatively low-risk areas for wind energy develop
 ment.\nVortragende(r): Moritz Mercker

DESCRIPTION:Complex communication systems can emerge even among evolutionar
 ily distant species\, raising questions about how cues and signals evolve 
 and support coordination. One striking case is the collaborative hunting b
 etween octopuses and reef-associated fish\, where each partner exploits di
 stinct foraging strengths. Field observations and experiments show that th
 ese interactions rely on a mix of passive cues and intentional signals\, s
 uch as referential gestures. Octopuses adjust their behavior depending on 
 partner species and context\, sometimes responding punitively to exploitat
 ive fish. Beyond movement\, information may also be relayed to other indiv
 iduals through colour change. This multidimensional dynamic use of signals
  and cues\, based on both movement and potentially color\, raises compelli
 ng questions about the boundary between passive and active communication\,
  and how much each contributes to group coordination and success. To furth
 er probe these mechanisms\, we combine field experiments using robotic fis
 h with computational simulations to understand how simple rules and comple
 x cognition jointly shape communication in multispecies hunting groups.\nV
