Jens Krause Professor at the Institute of Integrative and Comparative Biology, University of Leeds (UK) Title Social Organisation of Fish Abstract In my seminar I would like to give an overview of the activities in my research group at Leeds. The talk will focus on three topics: Animal social networks (mostly fish) Collective behaviour and leadership in animal groups Mechanisms underlying social recognition   CV Present Rank: Professor, Chair in Behavioural Ecology Place of Birth: Berlin, Germany Date of Birth: 10.4.1965 Citizenship: German Languages: German, English Post-school education & professional positions: Professor, 2004 Chair in Behavioural Ecology, Leeds University, UK Reader, 2004 Behavioural Ecology, Leeds University, UK Senior Lecturer, 2002-03 Behavioural Ecology, Leeds University, UK Habilitation fellowship, DFG, 1998-2000, Free University Berlin, Germany Lecturer, 1996-2001, Behavioural Ecology, Leeds University, UK BASF Postdoc-fellowship, 1996-1997, Leeds University, UK BASF Postdoc-fellowship, 1995-1996, Princeton University, USA NSERC Postdoc-fellowship, 1993-1995, Mount Allison Univ., Canada Ph.D., 1991-1993, Behavioural Ecology**, Cambridge University, UK M.Phil., 1988-1989, Applied Biology*, Cambridge University, UK Diploma (1st class), 1985-1990, Biology, Free University Berlin, Germany Research group: Currently 2 postdocs, 7 PhD-students and 3 MSc-students.
