Marie Dacke is a Professor at Lund University, where she is a member of the Lund Vision Group. She returned to Lund in 2007 after working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Australian National University. Her research focuses on developing behavioral methods to quantify visual performance in a variety of organisms, including insects, fish, spiders, and humans. Dacke employs these methods to explore the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and navigation in complex environments. Her current research projects examine the compass systems of nocturnal and diurnal animals, with a particular emphasis on dung beetles, which utilize polarized light for navigation despite their small brain size. Dacke is also involved in educational outreach, contributing to initiatives like the Lund University Biology Show and participating as a panel member on the nature show 'Studio Natur.' Her work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically in the areas of biodiversity and ecosystem protection.
Includes Master of Science in Politics and Society of the Contemporary Middle East and European Affairs.
