Jutta Schneider
Jutta M. Schneider (born November 30, 1964 ) is a German biologist and professor of behavioral biology at the University of Hamburg .
Career
Jutta Schneider completed a diploma in biology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in 1989 and received her doctorate in 1993 from Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . She carried out her diploma and doctoral theses at the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology in Seewiesen. For the next five years, Schneider worked as a research assistant at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, Aarhus University in Denmark and Melbourne University in Australia. In 2001 she completed her habilitation at the University of Mainz , funded by the German Research Foundation and subsequently received a Heisenberg grant from the DFG. Between 2001 and 2004 she did research at the Universities of Bonn and Melbourne. In 2004 she was appointed professor of behavioral biology at the University of Hamburg . From 2014 to 2017 she was the head of the Department of Biology.
Research priorities
Jutta Schneider is particularly interested in the behavior, phenotypic plasticity and life-history strategies of spiders. In sex cannibalistic spiders she researches the evolution of mating systems, sexual conflict, pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection, and the consequences of Wolbachia infections. Further research questions are the evolution of sub-sociality, in particular brood care and cooperation in Australian crab spiders , as well as the environmental development of cognitive abilities in jumping spiders .
