I suggest a systematic study into the influence of non-singing female companions on vocal learning in young birds as a proof-of-principle study into how non-imitative learning processes from the social environment influence the timing and content of vocal learning and thus drive the interface between…

I am passionate about aquatic ecology, conservation and evolution, behavioural biology and global change. During my PhD, I am investigating the density and diversity of pelagic fish in and around offshore windfarms in the North Sea, more specifically related to the underwater acoustic conditions. This…

The Kovács lab concentrates on the growth and development of Bacilli during establishment of biofilms and interaction with rhizosphere microorganisms using a combination of molecular biology and eco-evolutionary approaches. We combine genome sequencing, genetic engineering, transcriptomics, and natural…
