Marta Manser

D **Marta Manser** (* 1962) isch e Schwyzer Brofässeri fir Verhaltesbiology am Inschtitut fir Evoluzionsbiology un Umwältwisseschaft an dr Uniwersitet Züri.

## Lääbe

D Manser isch uf eme Buurehoft in dr Oschtschwyz ufgwagse. No dr Schuel het si Biologylaboranti bi Hoffmann-La Roche gleert. Noch em Abschluss vu Uusbildig het si gmerkt, ass die Arbet lengerfrischtig nyt fir si isch. No ne baar Jihr im Beruef un in ere Freiwilligenarbet het si anne 1988 an dr Uniwersitet Baasel aafange Biology studiere.Im Johr 1992 het si dr Master am Zoologische Inschtitut vu dr Uniwersitet Baasel gmacht. Ab 1994 het si in dr Large Animal Research Group am Zoologische Inschtitut vu dr Uniwersitet Cambridge z Ängland gforscht. Anne 1998 het si bromewiert un derno as Poscht-Dokterandi am Psichologische Inschtitut vu dr University of Pennsylvania z Philadelphia, USA, gschafft. Ab 2002 het si ne SNF-Ferderbrofessur am Zoologische Inschtitut vu dr Uniwersitet Züri ghaa. Vu 2008 bis 2015 isch si usserordeligi Brofässeri fir Verhaltesbiology am Inschtitut fir Evoluzionsbiology un Umwältwisseschaft an dr Uni Züri gsii, syter anne 2015 isch si dert ordeligi Brofässeri. 

Si untersuecht mit ire Forschigsgruppe d Kommunikazion un d Kognizion vu soziale Saiger. D Manser isch di wichtigscht Experti fir Ärdmännli in dr Schwyz un untersuecht däre ire Gruppelääbe unter anderem am Standort Irchel vu dr Uniwersitet Züri. Dert haltet si ne Gruppe Ärdmännli, wu si diräkt vor Ort chenne beobachte. Si isch au Forschigslaiteri vum Kalahari Meerkat Project im Kuruman River Reserve im Norde vu Sidafrika. Si het unter anderem entdeckt, ass Ärdmännli fir e jede unterschidlige Fynd en andere Warnruef hän un dodermit gnau wisse, wu e Gfohr här chunnt.

Si isch au im Vorstand vu dr Zoologische Gsellschaft Züri.
