Title Lecture Series in Behavioural, Theoretical, and Evolutionary Biology, seminar
Description The aim of this lecture series is to introduce students to cutting-edge original research and to train them to discuss current results and hypotheses with each other and the respective scientists. For this purpose, we invite highly reputed scientists in the fields of behavioral ecology, theoretical ecology and evolution, and evolutionary ecology to give a research seminar. Every other week, the seminars are complemented by student-led discussions of the speakers' research papers. This lecture series belongs to the list of seminars for which 3rd-year students of Ecology and Evolution can obtain compulsory ECTS points. Interested individuals from all fields and career stages are highly welcome to join and participate in the seminars and paper discussions.

The successful attainment of ECTS points requires i) regular attendance, ii) active participation in the discussion (through questions), iii) delivery of at least two question protocols that summarize the talk and the student’s question as well as responses of the speaker, and iv) co-leading a paper discussion.
