ICTP is pleased to announce the forthcoming ICTP Colloquium on "Olfactory navigation and familiar visual landmark-based navigation in birds: from homing pigeons to wild species", by Dr. Anna Gagliardo from the University of Pisa, Italy. The talk will take place TODAY, Thursday 15 February 2018 at 16:30 hrs, in the Budinich Lecture Hall, Leonardo Building, ICTP.

Dr. Anna Gagliardo earned a degree in Biology and a PhD in Animal Behaviour at the University of Pisa (Italy) studying the role of olfaction in pigeon navigation. She is currently researcher at the Biology Department (University of Pisa), where she studies the mechanisms underlying birds’ navigation, with a particular interest on the role of olfaction in avian navigation. Her research interest also focuses on the neural basis of pigeon navigation and the cognitive processes underlying spatial behaviours in birds.

The abstract of the talk is available at: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8488/
