Prof. Dr. Helene Richter is a Professor in the Department of Behavioural Biology at the University of Münster, affiliated with the Institute for Neuro- and Behavioural Biology. Her research focuses on animal behavior, stress physiology, and experimental reproducibility. She explores topics such as cognitive bias in animals, individual behavioral differences, and the impact of social environments on hormonal and behavioral phenotypes.
Key research interests include animal welfare science, neuroendocrine mechanisms, and improving methodological rigor in animal studies. Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to understanding individuality in social behavior and the implications for translational research.
Publications span studies on rodents and insects, addressing issues like paw preference, judgment bias, and the reproducibility of ecological experiments. Richter advocates for systematic heterogenization in study designs to enhance external validity and reduce animal use in research.
