Rank and social context influence sleep in wild chimpanzees

Institute Seminar by Clara Hozer
  • Datum: 01.07.2025
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 11:30
  • Vortragende(r): Clara Hozer
  • Clara Hozer obtained her PhD at the National Museum of Natural History in France, under the supervision of Fabien Pifferi, where she investigated the links between circadian rhythms, aging, and survival in the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus). She then pursued a first postdoctoral position focusing on sleep characteristics in the same species. Following this, she was awarded a Fyssen Foundation fellowship to study sleep in wild chimpanzees at the University of Neuchâtel, under the supervision of Klaus Zuberbühler, for a period of two years.

Sleep is vital for health and fitness, and its expression is shaped by ecological and social contexts that may either promote or disturb it. Most research, however, has focused on captive settings, detached from natural environments that can modify the balance between benefits and drawbacks of ... [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]

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]
