- Spread the word: we're #hiring! We have an open #research fellowship position for #postdocs with their own research idea: It includes an own budget, a #PhD student position and the possibility to conduct independent research on animal #navigation and/or #magnetoreception 🧭🦤🦇🐟⚛️🧪👩🔬! sfb1372.de/jobs
- New publication on #cryptochrome 1 by our SFB researchers and colleagues! 👫🦧🦍 #CRY1 in the outer segments of blue cone #photoreceptors might have several different functions including at least one nonclock function. Several versions of CRY1 might exist in humans: doi.org/10.1096/fj.202402614R
- Our project partner Nachum Ulanovsky has published a book on the #neuroscience of natural #behaviour. It combines neuroscience, behavioural #ecology, #ethology and #psychology, including a chapter on the #neurobiology of #navigation. @mitpress.bsky.social www.weizmann.ac.il/brain-scienc...

- Congrats to our SFB researchers Nathalie and Sandra @commonternproject.bsky.social @ifv-whv.bsky.social with @migecol.bsky.social and co-workers to their article on 'Route flexibility is associated with headwind minimization in a long-distance migratory seabird'! doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.2522
- These are 5 autumn migration routes travelled by the same common tern. He’s not the only one showing such flexibility, and it pays, because in our new paper, published by @royalsocietypublishing.org, we show that route flexibility is associated with minimized headwind exposure: tinyurl.com/4dawhwzj
- Congrats to our researchers around @thebuddhabird93.bsky.social on their latest joint publication: Using a custom-designed injection setup, they identified a #viral #serotype with the capability to successfully induce widespread transduction of the bird retina. doi.org/10.3389/fphy...
- New publication of our SFB researchers @migecol.bsky.social and @thiemokarwinkel.bsky.social and their co-workers! Read the full article here: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
- In a new article, we summarise the opportunities of the #Motus Wildlife Tracking System from a European perspective. This #tracking method offers a wide range of opportunities for research of small migratory birds, bats and insects: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
- Brand-new preprint from our Neuro research team with @niksirbi.neuromatch.social.ap.brid.gy and @neuroweiler.bsky.social on "Mapping the magnetoreceptive brain: A 3D digital atlas of the migratory bird Eurasian blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)" here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
