I'm preparing a 10-minute talk for the upcoming EMBO Workshop on unconventional vertebrate models in biomedicine. The workshop is targeted at researchers working with non-model species and those in biomedical fields (e.g. tissue regeneration, aging, stem cell biology). I’ll present how the common ... [mehr]

Sisters, mothers, and others: how kin shape the life-history of an asocial squirrel

Institute Seminar by Caitlin Wells
  • Datum: 03.06.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Caitlin Wells
  • Dr. Caitlin Wells, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology at Colorado State University. Caitlin is a conservation ecologist whose work integrates evolutionary ecology, animal behavior, and conservation genomics to predict the responses of wild vertebrates to environmental change. Caitlin works with birds (primarily waterfowl) and mammals (rodents, elephants, and primates) of conservation concern, primarily in the mountains and the tropics, with long-term work in Hawaii, the Rocky Mountains, and Uganda. She is currently the PI of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory’s long-term ground squirrel project studying social and reproductive behavior, accelerated aging, life histories, and phenological mismatch under climatic change.

Among mammals, the formation of matrilines – multigenerational female kin groups – is thought to be a key transition toward complex social living in primates, carnivores, and ground-dwelling squirrels. The costs and benefits of interactions with female kin have been well-identified for social ... [mehr]

Social carnivores have garnered the attention of behavioural biologists because of their complex social structures and remarkable collective behaviours, such as coordinated hunting. However, quantitative understanding of these social and collective behaviours in social carnivores is significantly ... [mehr]

Knowledge and culture in savannah elephants: What do we know, and what should we do next?

Institute Seminar by Lucy Bates
  • Datum: 20.05.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Lucy Bates
  • My research considers the evolution of social skills and cognition in mammals, particularly elephants. My current work concerns the acquisition of information and the role of ‘knowledgeable’ individuals in elephant society. This has implications for elephant conservation and management policy, which is an important part of my interest, and I endeavour to use my research to contribute to and enable sustainable, fair and effective conservation practices. My passion for studying elephant cognition began with my first post-doctoral research position, conducted between 2005 and 2008 at the University of St Andrews. Working with Professor Dick Byrne, I conducted some of the first field studies exploring social cognition in savannah elephants, working in collaboration with the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. Before that I completed my PhD on chimpanzee behavioural ecology, also at St Andrews. After the post-doc I took a break from academia, working as a consultant for various conservation projects in southern Africa between 2009 and 2015 before returning to research with a part-time Daphne Jackson Trust Fellowship held at the University of Sussex, working alongside Professor Karen McComb. I then worked as an Associate Lecturer at the Open University, before joining the University of Portsmouth as a (part-time) lecturer in 2022.

In this talk, I will explore what we know about the acquisition of information and the role of knowledgeable individuals in elephant society. It is something of a mantra for elephant biologists that older elephants are ‘repositories of knowledge’, but I will question what this means in two ways ... [mehr]

Understanding Roost Fidelity in Cave-Dwelling Bats: Insights from PIT-Tag Monitoring of Rhinolophus euryale

Rado Seminar by Lander Olasagasti
  • Datum: 16.05.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Lander Olasagasti
  • Ort: MPI-AB Möggingen
  • Raum: Seminar room MPI-AB Möggingen + Online
  • Gastgeber: Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior
  • Kontakt: ddechmann@ab.mpg.de
Roosts are vital for bats, offering protection and a place to rest, breed, and socialise. Among roost types, caves are the most stable but also the least available, leading cave-dwelling bats to form larger colonies and switch roosts less often than tree-rosting species. Conservation and monitoring ... [mehr]
