We study animal behaviour in the field and in the lab, with a focus on chemical communication, urbanisation and host-microbe interactions.
Congratulations Valeria!!
Really proud of this one. Our first study on innovative problem-solving in free-ranging small mammals is fresh off the press of Animal Cognition rdcu.be/eOHl3. We looked at what happens with human disturbance in a protected area...without disturbing our most precious collaborators!

Fire salamander larvae show habitat type-specific surface chemical fingerprints - Chemoecology
In a fire salamander population near Bonn, Germany, fire salamander females use two different habitats for larval deposition, i.e. ponds or streams. As it is known that females can discriminate betwee...

Our new paper is out!🐦
We replicated a paper by Gilles et al. 2024, and (surprise) replication studies are indeed very much needed!!
