Invertebrate Sound and Vibration Meeting in Lincoln, UK
After six years of absence the Invertebrate sound and vibration meeting took place in beautiful Lincoln, UK. Manuela and Marcelo attended this inspiring conference presenting their work. Probably the best place to be this weekend if you`re into invertebrates producing and perceiving sound.

Today we welcomed a new guest student from Australia - Travers M Sansom. He is doing some research with Dr. Toni Wöhrl in our lab and will staying with us for three months
46th ARO MidWinter Meeting
Annette, Roxana and Manuela joint the 46th ARO MidWinter MeetingExternal link in Orlando Florida. We were excited to present our latest’s results in vertebrate and invertebrate hearing and to enjoy the warm sun.

3rd African Bioacoustics Community Conference
Dr. Stefan Schöneich, Marcelo Christian, Roxana Taszus, and Steven Abendroth attended the 3rd African Bioacoustics Community Conference, in Skukuza, South Africa, Kruger National Park. Marcello presenting a poster titled "Does size matter? - A study on correlations between calling song and body size parameters within and across cricket populations". Roxana Taszus presented a poster titled "The Shape of Water - adaptations of cochlear morphology in seals and otters to a semi-aquatic life". And Stefan Schöneich gave a talk about "Neural basis of the evolution of a novel communication system in a group of eneopterine crickets". It was a beautiful place for the 3rd African Bioacoustics Community Conference with a lot of interesting talks, posters and many sympathic participants.

Visit at the natural history museum in Paris
Dr. Stefan Schöneich and Marcelo Christian had the chance to visit Dr. Tony Robillard´s lab and the gallery of evolution in Paris. We had a great time, many thanks to Tony and his colleagues for their hospitality.

Finally, first in-person conference after 3 years
After being postponed by 2 years, the 14th International Congress of Neuroethology (ICN) took place at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal. Dr. Stefan Schöneich and Marcelo Christian attended the ICN 2022, presenting a poster titled "Does size matter? - A study on correlations between calling song and body size parameters within and across cricket populations". It was an inspiring and joyful event, and one could sense the need for socializing in the scientific community after all this time.

Defense of Anna Vavakou
It was great to be at the defense of Anna Vavakou dissertation in Rotterdam. She made it with the highest degree of her university. Fantastic collaboration and an amazing work.

Dr. Toni Woehrl graduated with his doctoral thesis on the 19th of July.
Toni Wöhrl defended his dissertation on Tuesday the 19th of July with amazing success.
Dr. Toni Woehrl throws a wreath over the Hanfried statue
His work on insect locomotion, specifically the geometry of ant gaits, brought new insights into kinemtaics to the table. The newly developed high-speed camera technology allowed for observations in 3D, where previous studies were limited to 2D analyses.
Back to the field work with students in 2022.
Back to field work.

Eneopterology Workshop
Together with Tony Robillard and Hannah ter Hofstede we organized our first International Worshop on Eneopterology. Two fantastic days with passionate exchange of ideas inspiring new reseach projects. Already looking forward to our next eneopterology meeting in autumn - hopefully then at least partly in-person in a hybrid format.
Marcelo Christian
Welcome
We welcome Marcelo Christian as a new member of our group. As a doctoral student he will work together with Dr. Schöneich on the DFG- sponsored research project: "Intraspecific communication for mate finding in insects: Neural modifications underlying its evolution in eneopterine crickets and its susceptibility to neonicotinoid insecticides"
Valeria Fattoruso
2nd september, 2021
Today we welcomed a new guest student from Italy - Valeria Fattoruso. She is doing her PhD in the lab of Sebastian OberstExternal link (Sydney) and will staying with us for three months to learn different biomechanical techniques.
