The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology is a scientific institute devoted to the study of animal behavior, ecology, and evolutionary biology. We are located in the outskirts of Vienna, Austria, in the beautiful Vienna Woods. Our goals are to investigate and advance scientific understanding about the biology of animal behavior and transfer this knowledge through scholarly publication. As an institute for ethology (behavioral biology), we study animals in natural or seminatural conditions, as well as the laboratory, and address questions regarding proximate mechanisms and evolution. We study a diversity of species, and utilize a variety of methods and techniques, including molecular genetic tools. We provide opportunities for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to receive training and collaborate on research. Finally, we aim to apply insights from our research to better understand the behavior of our own species and to address applied problems, particularly for conservation and the environment. ...

The Macaulay Library is the world's largest archive of animal sounds.We have more than 160,000 recordings of 67 percent of the world's birds, and rapidly increasing holdings of insects, fish, frogs, and mammals. The Macaulay Library is a principal source of sound recordings for basic research, education, conservation, habitat assessment, media, and commercial projects. The collection is strongest in New World species but also has substantial holdings from Africa and Madagascar, Europe, the former Soviet Union, and South East Asia. The Library archives and preserves an exhaustive sampling of the behaviors of each animal species using digital video and audio recordings. ... [Information of the supplier]
Measuring Behavior is returning to the City of Life Sciences! The upcoming Measuring Behavior conference will be held in the city of Wageningen from 27-29 August 2014. Wageningen has a large university and many research institutes, with considerable number of groups working on research related to both animal and human behavior. Measuring Behavior is known for its interdisciplinary character. At this conference you will find yourself among colleagues from various fields of research. While the research questions and applications may be highly diverse, what all delegates share is an interest in methods, techniques and tools for the study of behavior. Whether you study the behavior of consumers or insects, Measuring Behavior 2014 is the perfect ground for a productive meeting. ... [Information of the supplier]
Measuring Behavior is the premier interdisciplinary event for scientists and practitioners concerned with the study of human or animal behavior. This unique conference focuses on methods, techniques and tools in behavioral research in the widest sense. While most conferences focus on a specific scientific area, this conference tries to create bridges between disciplines by bringing together people who may otherwise be unlikely to meet each other. At a Measuring Behavior meeting, you will find yourself among researchers from all fields of behavioral research: behavioral ecologists or neuroscientists, ethologists, developmental psychologists, ergonomists, human factors researchers, movement scientists, psychiatrists, psychophysiologists, toxicologists, usability testers, and others. While the research questions and applications may be highly diverse, what all delegates share is an interest in methods, techniques and tools for the study of behavior. Experience tells us that the focus on methodological and technical themes can lead to a very productive cross-fertilization between research fields. ... [Information of the supplier]
After a successful first stint abroad we are happy to announce that Measuring Behavior 2018 will be hosted in Manchester, United Kingdom. From 6-8 June 2018 Manchester will be the stage for the latest inventions, prototypes, and techniques in behavioral research. The conference will be hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University. ...

Movebank is funded by the public (NSF/USA, Max Planck/Germany) as a free-for-all global museum for animal movement data, which are a legacy of humankind. a) Movebank acquires new data in real-time by linking data streams coming from satellites, cellphone networks, or other local area networks. b) Existing (legacy) animal data are uploaded to the centralized Movebank database. c) Users who prefer to host their own data can link to Movebank resources through a distributed system. d) Users interact with data through a customizable 'cyberdashboard' with online calculators for spatial analyses, animal density estimation and other statistical tools. Animal-trackers and camera-trappers have exclusive access to their data and the option to make them "open access" to share with professionals and students, with appropriate credit. Scientists will be able to interact with their data in realtime, and make instant comparisons with legacy data from other studies. Theoreticians can mine animal movement and distribution data to test ideas related to ecological patterns, evolutionary processes, and disease spread. Conservation managers can use Movebank to show population changes over time and space. Educators will find a wealth of examples to illustrate biological principals and let students ask and answer their own questions about wild animals. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project is a tool for tracking the movements of marine animals along the west coast of North America, using acoustic transmitters implanted in a variety of species, and a series of receivers running in lines across the continental shelf. POST was one of seventeen projects of the Census of Marine Life, a 10-year international effort to assess the global distribution, diversity and abundance of life in the oceans - past, present and future. The Pacific Ocean Shelf Tracking (POST) Project's mission is to further understanding of the behaviour of marine animals through the operation of a large-scale ocean telemetry and data management system. POST serves as an accessible research tool for academe, resource agencies and the public. Long-term monitoring of marine animals will contribute to the conservation and stewardship of marine resources. ... [Information of the supplier]
