1 | O4382Our research focus is mainly on the birds’ daily and seasonal activities, which are temporally and spatially placed in such a way that they optimize an ecological adaptation. The undergoing Research themes are as following: |
2 | O4383Clocks controlled daily and seasonal behaviors (e.g. migration and reproduction). |
3 | O4384Endocrinology of seasonal behaviors (with reference to changes in melatonin, thyroid and steroid hormones). |
4 | O4385Localization and expression of Opsin (Melanopsin Opn4) in the avian system. |
5 | O4386Endocrinology of free-living birds. Measurement of hormones, and recording their behavioral changes. |
