European Conference On Behavioural Biology (ECBB)
sortie
The conference will start with an apéro and opening plenary talk in the late afternoon of the 16th July and finish with the ASAB medal plenary at lunch time of Friday the 19th July.
Plenty of time and some events to enhance social interactions will be integrated over the days of the meeting.
Plenary Speakers Professor Barbara Koenig: Barbara Koenig is a Professor Emeritus of the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
She has served as the president of the German Zoological Society, and secretary general of the International Council of Ethology, and is a board member of the Swiss Academy of Natural Sciences.
Barbara Koenig is best known for her long-term study of wild house mice, which her and her colleagues have been following since 2003.
Her work on cooperation and social behaviour has revealed the significance of social interactions and communal nursing for fitness, and explored the genetic, endocrine, and neural mechanisms underlying sociality.
Associate Professor Christina Riehl: Christina Riehl is an associate professor at the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University, USA, and is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Princeton’s High Meadows Environmental Institute and Princeton’s Program in Latin American Studies.
She is a fellow of the American Ornithology Society, and received a National Science Foundation Career Award in 2019.
Christina Riehl heads a long-term research project on the cooperatively breeding greater ani in Panama.
She studies breeding systems in birds, focusing on two main topics: the evolution of cooperative breeding in birds, and the co-evolution of avian brood parasites and their hosts.
These studies have revealed how individuals divide labour and manage workloads within cooperative breeding groups, and elucidated the evolutionary ...
