Iain Couzin, co-spokersperson of the CASCB, is one of the Falling Walls Life Sciences Winner 2022. The prize is awarded to researchers who submitted "ground-breaking projects".
Animals likely rely on social factors to guide migration: suggests a new research synthesis from Konstanz, bringing together research from 100 scientific publications
Die Konstanzer Biologin Dr. Daniela Rößler und ihr Team haben bei Springspinnen einen REM-Schlaf ähnlichen Zustand entdeckt und tragen damit zum besseren Verständnis der Evolution des Schlafs bei Tieren bei.
A swarm of Ph.D. students from the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour and the University of Konstanz went to Cologne for this year's edition of the Neurobiology Doctoral Students Workshop (NeuroDoWo), which was a huge success.
The DFG is funding the research unit "Modulation in Olfaction: How Recurrent Circuits Govern State-Dependent Behaviour". Neurobiologist Dr Katrin Vogt from the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour is involved as a subproject leader.
