Meet the organizers
By organizing a symposium with the topic of computer animated animal stimuli, we hope to promote this method and its possibilities, increase accessibility, and open the dialogue for support and future advice.
Laura Chouinard-Thuly
I am a PhD candidate at McGill University, where I study social behaviours and social learning in a very tiny tropical fish, the guppy.
I am also very active in the teaching and development of efficient teaching and learning strategies in science.
Stefanie Gierszewski
I am a PhD candidate at University of Siegen where I can live out my passion for fish behaviour by studying mate choice copying in the livebearing sailfin molly (Poecilia latipinna).
Klaudia Witte
I am a professor for ecology and behavioral biology at the Institute of Biology at the University of Siegen. I am interested in understanding the role of social information in mate choice in fish and birds. One focus is on the mechanism and the function of mate-choice copying in salfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna).
