Programme overview
Public Lecture by Prof. Dr. Oliver Krüger
Verhalten im Wandel: Westfalen, Arktis, Galapagos
On Wednesday evening (17:00 - 18:30) Prof. Dr. Oliver Krüger will give a public lecture on the topic of Verhalten im Wandel: Westfalen, Arktis, Galapagos in hopes of engaging and communicating our research to the citizens of Münster and anyone interested. Please feel free to join but be aware that the lecture will be held in German.
Abstract: Verhalten ist besonders flexibel und kann sehr schnell auf Veränderungen der Umwelt reagieren. Daher übernimmt die Verhaltensforschung eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Frage, ob und wie Tiere sich an eine sich immer schneller verändernde Umwelt anpassen können. Anhand von drei Beispielen aus der laufenden Forschung macht der Vortrag deutlich, warum es immer Hoffnung gibt, dass Tiere mit Klimawandel, Habitatveränderung und verändertem Artenspektrum zurechtkommen, aber auch, wo die Grenzen der Anpassungsfähigkeit liegen. Damit soll der Vortrag Mut und Begeisterung für die Biologie im Allgemeinen und für die Freilandforschung im Besonderen wecken.
