Funded PhD studentship position in Austria
Position available from Sept. 2008 for three years: FWF (Austrian Science
foundation)-funded PhD studentship.
Research topic: Ethological basis of social waves in Giant honeybees.
Giant honeybee research group (group leader: Gerald Kastberger)
Short summary. This project investigates the phenomenon of social
waving in Giant honeybees which is a main component of colony defence
and which has been termed ’shimmering behaviour’ in literature. While
focussed on its uniqueness in Giant honeybees, the research topic
does have relevance for a series of hot spots of the biology of social
systems in general. It refers, in particular, to ‘task partitioning’,
to ‘collective decision-making’, to ’social communication’, and to
’social defence’. Shimmering also relies on unexplored principles of
‘information transfer ‘and introduces itself as a compelling example
of ’self organisation’. It addresses ‘proximate’ questions (HOW does
shimmering function?) and ultimate questions (WHY has been shimmering
evolved?) and therefore, it gives rise to discovery of interdependencies
between giant honeybees as prey and its predators as part of a
‘co-evolutionary arms race’.
