Welcome to the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior!
Curiosity is the driving force to create new knowledge. The scientists at the institute seek answers to better understand, protect, and even learn from the wildlife on our planet: How and why do animals migrate on our planet? Why do they move in swarms? How do they come to common decisions?
This app offers a tour of the many facets of current research, whether on site or from home. It explains the origins and constant development of the institute and provides an exciting insight into the unique public relations work at MaxCine, the Center for Communication and Exchange.
The Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior consists of three departments.
Research in Prof. Dr. Iain Couzin's department "Collective Behavior" focuses on revealing the principles underlying collective behavior in animals.
The "Ecology of Animal Societies" department, led by Prof. Dr. Meg Crofoot, seeks to answer the fundamental question: How do animal societies form and function?
The team around Prof. Dr. Martin Wikelski researches animal migrations and developed ICARUS (International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space).
