Prof. Jörn Theuerkauf (Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii PAN) przedstawi referat pt. „The first tribe of New Caledonia – social organisation in the cooperative Kagu”.

Abstrakt wystąpienia: Complex societies are typically associated with human civilization and, to some extent, with other primates. However, some social insects also form complex societies, though these are based on individuals with predefined roles. In this presentation, we will take a closer look at the endemic Kagu of New Caledonia, a flightless bird that shows multi-level social structures, division of labour, and even a surprising potential step toward a form of industrial behaviour.
