Marc Naguib

Prof. Dr. Marc Naguib is a Full Professor in Behavioural Ecology at the Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences (WIAS), part of Wageningen University & Research. His research focuses on avian behavioral ecology, particularly in species like zebra finches and great tits, investigating topics such as communication networks, social behavior, and environmental adaptation.

• Expertise includes: animal communication, reproductive strategies, wildlife tracking technology, and conservation biology
• Leads projects on African rangeland ecology and human-wildlife conflict
• Supervises 9 PhD candidates including studies on martial eagles, elephant resource use, and turtle hybridization

Research interests emphasize understanding how animals adapt to environmental challenges through behavioral mechanisms. Recent work explores climate impacts on avian reproduction and the functional consequences of hybridization in sea turtles.

Publications highlight innovative tracking methods and insights into animal communication systems. Active in education through MOOCs on animal behavior and conservation. Media engagements discuss topics like avian conservation and animal welfare policy.
