Really enjoyed the biotremology talk of @denisebe.bsky.social at #DZG2026. Very cool study. (lots of people behind me btw😉)

Excellent talks on shrew auditory perception, modelling based on bat collective behaviour @beleyurthejasvi.bsky.social and costly courtship in spiders @denisebe.bsky.social @uhl-lab.bsky.social 🐀🦇🕸#DZG2026 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social
Now we have the second #morphology session running at #dzg2026. Ranging topicwise from the "enigmatic body" of #cuddlefish and #squids to #functional_morphology of #ants and #beetles
Our first #morphology session is now running at #DZG2026 with talks including #neural #anatomy in #crayfish and #ctenophores and genital damage in light of sperm competition in #spiders
Welcome to our next morning sessions, this time covering such amazing topics as hearing range in shrews and jamming costs in bat echolocation.
Talks by Marina Scheumann and @adityamoger.bsky.social!
Enjoy it! Already carried many bags of nicely roasted coffee beans home from Münster. Greetings to everyone at #DZG2026
Day 3 Aditya Moger from the lab! Talking modelling how groups of echolocators and the strategies they may be using. #DZG2026
Day 3 Marina Scheumann talking about Etruscan shrews (one of the tiniest mammals ever), and their hearing abilities. #DZG2026
Curious about non-invasive methods to study behaviour? Join our satellite symposium this Friday morning in room 234! 🤩💯#DZG2026 @dzg-behaviour.bsky.social
We had a wonderful #DZG2026 session today with seven great talks by Luoyang Li 🐚 Joëlle van der Sprong 🧽 Mattes Linde 🕷️ @yschoeneberg.bsky.social 🕷️Torsten Struck 🧬 Anne Mack 🪲 and Tobias Pfeifer 🐜 Big thanks to you!
🚨 Don't forget our #SysBioDiv keynote speakers on Wednesday at 14:45h ⚠️ cu there
Our last session today covers bats' ability to (echo)locate in large groups, and offspring cooperation in burying beetles. Great talks delivered by @beleyurthejasvi.bsky.social and @paulhuber.bsky.social!
Lots of exciting topics in our first afternoon session of the second day of #DZG2026, ranging from cuttlefish camouflage strategies and spider silk use to trade-offs between self-interest vs prosocial motivation.
Talks by @christiandrerup.com, @maitryjani.bsky.social, and Sasha Engelhardt.
Christian Drerup on how cuttlefish camouflage their bodies in complex & dynamic light scenes, esp under fluctuating water+light conditions #DZG2026
Day 2 #DZG2026 Maximilian Körner on bi-parental care in necrophilic beetles
So schön wieder in Vorträge bei einer Tagung zu sitzen #DZG2026 🥹
Our second session also deals with environmental influences - how does heat affect coping in small mammals? How does UV-A lighting affect laying hen behaviour?
Great talks by Marion Varga and Alfie Prettyman!
Session #1 was all about change - novel diets in wild house mice, the impact of heatwaves on behav differences in woodlice, & how cities are changing the social lives of animals!
Top presentations by our speakers Ekaterina Gorshkova, @urban-squirrel.bsky.social and @averymaune.bsky.social! #DZG2026
#DZG2026 has taken off - and we are looking forward to 16 amazing talks and 23 posters focusing on behavioural biology!
Don't forget to join us for our section meeting on Thursday at 1 pm!
Yesterday was the opening ceremony at #DZG2026 and TODAY we have our SysBioDiv session! Come by at 11:30h (and again at 16:15h) to hear our presenters talk about biodiversity, phylogenies and phylogenomics 🐚🦀🐞🦗 🕷️🪱 See you there!
Maike Kittelmann on the evolution of sensory integration in comb jellies. How do they show behaviour when there's no clear neuronal cell type? #DZG2026
