Our lab is based at the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology of the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, and at the Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Biology, University of Vienna. The lab was created thanks to a special grant of the Austrian Ministry of Research and Education. The lab includes staff of both universities and lab members have access to a large number of research facilities, instruments, animal enclosures, and experts.
