The 11th topical meeting of the Ethological Society will take place at the German Primate Center in Göttingen. Göttingen has a long-standing tradition in anthropological and primate research. Based on the close collaboration between the Georg-August-University and the German Primate Center, Göttingen has become one of the leading centers for the study of primate behavior in Europe. We have assembled an international roster of speakers who explore the cognitive foundations of behavior and their evolution in a diverse array of taxa, including bees, birds and wolves. Contributions from researchers with a broad interest in the evolution of behavior and its cognitive foundations are welcome, particularly from PhD students and young postdoctoral fellows. There will be prizes for the best student talks and posters. ... [Information of the supplier]
Our program committee is currently finalizing the program, and the line-up of plenary speakers and seminars is outstanding. Plenary speakers will include Vanessa Ezenwa, of the University of Georgia, giving a talk titled, "Parasites and Behavior: Old Ideas and New Insights". Juan Carlos Reboreda, of the University of Buenos Aires, will give his talk, "Adaptations to brood parasitism in host generalist and host specialist cowbirds". Lauren O'Connell, from Harvard University, will present, "Parenthood on the brain: neural mechanisms of piggyback rides and nursing behavior in poison frogs". As well as the ABS President's Plenary by Emília Martins of Indiana University-Bloomington. Our keynote speaker will be the eminant primatologist and ethologist, Frans de Waal, presenting his talk titled, "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals are?". Conference Symposia will cover a range of timely topics, including: "Using Tinbergen’s Four Questions to Understand Emerging Conservation Concerns in Behavioral Toxicology", "New Frontiers in Animal Communication: In Honor of H. Carl Gerhardt", "Behavioral Genomics in Non-Model Systems", and "Comparative Canine Behavior". Other highlights include contributed papers, poster sessions, the annual graduate student Allee Award session, the Charles H. Turner workshop for undergraduates (by invitation), a Public Day, and workshops both before and after the 5 day meeting. And, of special interest to many, we plan to revive our hilarious Acaoke tradition (Academic Karaoke) during this meeting. In short, you can expect 2016 ABS conference to be intellectually stimulating but also lots of fun. So come, learn, present your latest fascinating research, attend the opening reception and final banquet, meet and make new friends, laugh - and maybe even dance! ... [Information of the supplier]
The purpose of this society is to promote and encourage the biological study of animal behavior in the broadest sense, including studies at all levels of organization using both descriptive and experimental methods under natural and controlled conditions. Both research studies and the dissemination of knowledge about animal behavior through publications, educational programs, and activities shall be encouraged ... [Information of the supplier]
ASAB’s Easter meeting is aimed at postgraduate students and postdocs but is open to anyone interested in animal behaviour. The postgraduate workshop will cover topics vital to all scientists, from how journals work and how to publish your research to working with the media, ethics and how to manage your supervisor. As always, there will be plenty of opportunity for relaxed discussions with the pub quiz (pub food included!) on Wednesday and conference social & Tympath (ceilidh/folk dancing) on Thursday evening on Constitution Hill, sea-view included!The conference is being organised by Dr Rupert Marshall, Dr Sarah Dalesman and Dr Roger Santer of the Aquatic, Behavioural and Evolutionary Biology research group ABEB. Aberystwyth is set amongst spectacular scenery on the edge of Cardigan Bay. Dolphins can be seen from the seafront while red kites circle overhead. Come join us! ... [Information of the supplier]
Behaviour2017 will gather international professionals, academia members and students from all fields of behavior research, such as behavioural ecology, neuroethology, behavioural endocrinology, behavioural genomics, animal cognition, evolutionary biology, Human ethology, applied ethology, conservation ethology, animal welfare, modelling and many others. The conference program will offer an opening keynote address from Fran de Waal and five invited plenary talks from distinguished researchers covering topics such as the comparative study of emotions, behavioural genomics, animal cognition, Evo-devo of behavioural adaptations, and modeling behavior evolution. There will also be a program of symposia, selected from a call for symposia that will be launched in due time, that will span the entire range of behaviour research and that will help advance and foster scientific research, education and training, and applications. Finally the program will also include sessions of contributed talks and posters, which will enable all delegates to present their work and to have the opportunity to discuss the most recent developments in their research fields. ...

Welcome to BioAcoustica. This site is an online repository and analysis platform for scientific recordings of wildlife sounds. In order to use the analysis functions you will need to create an account. It is hoped that this archive of field and laboratory recordings will become a useful resource for those working on acoustic identification and monitoring whether they work by ear or are developing automated techniques. ...

The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (also known as CMS or Bonn Convention) aims to conserve terrestrial, marine and avian migratory species throughout their range. It is an intergovernmental treaty, concluded under the aegis of the United Nations Environment Programme, concerned with the conservation of wildlife and habitats on a global scale. Since the Convention's entry into force, its membership has grown steadily to include 101 (as of 1January 2007) Parties from Africa, Central and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. ...

The EUropean ROe DEER Information System (EURODEER) is an open project to support a collaborative process of data sharing to produce better science. It is based on a spatial database that store shared movement data on roe deer to investigate variation in roe deer behavioural ecology along environmental gradients or population responses to specific conditions, such as habitat changes, impact of human activities, different hunting regimes. EURODEER group is trying to fully explore the opportunities given by the new monitoring technologies for conservation and management at both local and global scale. The spatial database, built upon open source software (PostgreSQL + PostGIS) and hosted at Edmund Mach Foundation, can be connected to a large set of client applications (GIS, web interfaces, statistics) to help storing, managing, accessing and analysing GPS data from several research groups throughout Europe. At present 19 research groups join EURODEER. The database is static and temporary, but the perspective is to turn it into a permanently structured and dynamically updatable data repository of a long term project. ...

Fonoteca Zoológica is the animal sound library of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales of Madrid (Spain). Our library provides support to research on animal sounds and acts as a depository of animal recordings for scientific research. If you want to know if we have recordings of a particular species, you may search our two databases: 1) Published recordings and 2) FZ sound collection. ... [Information of the supplier]
HBES is a society for all those studying the evolution of human behavior. Scientific perspectives range from evolutionary psychology to evolutionary anthropology and cultural evolution; and the membership includes researchers from a range of disciplines in the social and biological sciences. Our membership is worldwide. The two main activities of HBES are holding an annual conference and running a journal called Evolution and Human Behavior (EHB). The conference provides a forum to present and learn about current research in the field, and includes invited plenary talks from leading scientists in the field. Members of HBES receive a free subscription to EHB, a discount on the journal Human Nature, reduced registration at the annual HBES conference, and a biannual newsletter.
