coffee breaks inspire the coolest things, no? It certainly inspired this wonderful project – a kids book on a robin that takes you under its wing on its journey to their wintering grounds. gorgeously illustrated @co-la.bsky.social and beautifully written by a #dreamteam within @sfb1372.bsky.social

We’re hiring a doctoral researcher in the area of migration ecology. The work will focus on the question of how and when migratory songbirds learn where their home is using #Motus. Part of the Cluster of Excellence NaviSense and linked with @sfb1372.bsky.social uol.de/job788en #ornithology

Glad to see this one out! The product of some thought-provoking discussions with lots of cool people 🗺️ might be worth a read for those interested in #navigation or #migration 🦅 🐝 🐟 🐁

New mission for our SFB fellow Pauline - together with two historians of our university she will now be researching the question: were animals in antiquity the forerunners of modern navigation systems with their migrations and did they show people the way? uol.de/aktuelles/fe...

Impressions from our SFB research fellow Pauline Fleischmann @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social from her field work investigating #magnetoreception in desert #ants:

Registration is open for our 2nd international conference for early career researchers on Magnetoreception and Navigation in Animals. 19.-21.11.2025 in Hamburg, Germany. Abstract submission extended to 8/8/25 :-) www.sfb1372.de/young-resear...

How do animals navigate? A recent study in @nature.com reveals that #BogongMoths use a stellar compass for their long-distance migration ✨️🧭🌏 I was asked for my opinion about this fascinating result by my dear colleagues @lundvision.bsky.social 🤩 ↘️ www.npr.org/2025/06/18/n... ↙️ @sfb1372.bsky.social

Congrats to our SFB colleagues @shakedpa.bsky.social, Nachum Ulanovsky & coworkers @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social: They report in Cell that the replay of large environments in the hippocampus of fruit #bats is fragmented; this may facilitate memory chunking for hippocampal-neocortical communication

Abstract submission is still open for two more weeks and we would love to receive more contributions for the Young-Researchers-Symposium on Magnetoreception & Navigation in Animals. Travel grants are also available. www.sfb1372.de/young-resear... @sfb1372.bsky.social

New accepted paper of our SFB colleagues working on #sun #compass #orientation in #migrating sticklebacks: Behavioural experiments revealed ecotype-dependent differences: The orientation ability is present in the anadromous ecotype, but random in the freshwater ecotype. doi.org/10.1093/iob/...

13 days left to apply for our #CRC #fellowship #job position for experienced #postdocs with your own project proposal for research on animal #navigation and/or #magnetoreception. Apply until 15 June! sfb1372.de/jobs

Götz & Nathalie have started catching today. Kamala was 3rd to safely return her #geolocator. Nathalie will be analyzing the track soon, adding Kamala to a subset of 140 other birds for which she has collected data on the #migratorybehaviour as part of her postdoc funded by @sfb1372.bsky.social.

spring has sprung and the #dreamteam is out in the forest. first #geolocator robins have been spotted and data already secured - such exciting times. we use #lotek radiotelemetry and light and pressure loggers to understand partial #migration in a European #robin population in Northern Germany.
