Welcome at Division Behavioural Ecology Our research focus is on the mechanisms involved in the evolution of advanced social behaviour and alternative reproductive behaviours. Specific research subjects include cooperative breeding in vertebrates and insects, alternative male mating tactics, and the mechanisms involved in the regulation of agonistic and cooperative interactions between conspecifics. In addition, we study the significance of external structures manufactured by animals to attract partners ( extended phenotypes ), and the importance of ecology and intrinsic growth on life history decisions in indeterminately growing organisms. As model systems we currently use cichlid fishes of Lake Tanganyika, bark beetle and Norway rats. Willkommen in der Abteilung Verhaltensökologie Als ein zentrales Forschungsgebiet der Ethologie untersucht die Verhaltensökologie Mechanismen, die an der Evolution des Verhaltens massgeblich beteiligt sind. Eine Voraussetzung dafür ist das Verständnis des adaptiven Wertes eines Merkmals. Daneben sollten auch morphologische und physiologische Randbedingungen für die Ausprägung eines Verhaltens bekannt sein. Die Verhaltensökologie bedient sich vielfältiger Methoden aus der Evolutionsbiologie, Ökologie, Physiologie und der vergleichend-phylogenetischen Analyse. Obwohl prinzipiell organismisch orientiert, verwendet sie auch das Instrumentarium der Molekulargenetik, Immunologie, Parasitologie, Neurobiologie und Endokrinologie. Der wichtigste methodische Ansatz ist das Experiment, sowohl unter natürlichen als auch standardisierten Laborbedingungen.
