Dirk Louis P. Schorkopf (University of Vienna)

Main research interests: Information flow in biological systems, especially for regulatory purposes. At the moment, he focuses on the communication between meliponine workers, and the use of information for orientation in the environment. "I always welcome any ecological and evolutionary context".
