Abstract
Marie Dacke is a Professor at Lund University, Sweden, where she investigates visual adaptations and navigation by insects. After completing her BSc in Lund University and a PhD with Dan-Eric Nilsson at the same institute, she worked as a post-doctoral researcher with Mandyam Srinivasan at the Australian National University, before joining the Vision Group at Lund University as an Assistant Professor. Dacke talks about her earliest experiences of working with dung beetles in South Africa, establishing a new field site in Sardinia, Italy, and the pivotal experiments that confirmed that dung beetles can navigate by star light.
