Effect of niche choice on host-parasite interactions of common buzzards (C03)

Subject Area Sensory and Behavioural Biology
Evolution, Anthropology
Ecology and Biodiversity of Animals and Ecosystems, Organismic Interactions
Term since 2018
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 316099922
 
Project C03 will elucidate in unprecedented detail the choices made by buzzard individuals over their lifetimes leading to their niche individualization. A combination of transmitter- and video-surveillance will record how choices are affected by social and other biotic conditions. With high-resolution molecular, cellular, and hormonal techniques, we will show how strongly niche choice determines the fitness, physiology and interactions with parasites.
