Seminar by Bengt Hansson: "Evolutionary aspects of dispersal and migration in the great reed warbler"

Evolutionary aspects of dispersal and migration in the great reed warbler

Speaker: Dr Bengt Hansson (University of Lund, Sweden)
Date: Tuesday, 8 December, 2009
Venue: Niven Library
Time: 13h00

This talk will be about animal movements in general and about dispersal and migration in the great reed warbler in particular. Topics range from colonisation patterns, dispersal distances and migration routes to inbreeding, life-time reproductive success and sexual conflicts. Most results are based on reproductive and pedigree data from a long-term study population of great reed warblers at Lake Kvismaren, southern Central Sweden.
