Nikita ChernetsovBorn 28 September 1972 in Leningrad, USSR. E-mail: Nikita.Chernetsov@zin.ru, nikita.chernetsov@gmail.com Research interests include bird migration, orientation and navigation, with a focus on navigational map of long-distance migrants and compass systems of migrating birds. Studies physiological mechanisms of magnetoreception in birds. Apart from work at the Biological Station Rybachy, is a full professor at the Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Faculty of Biology, of St. Petersburg State University. Nikita Chernetsov is also working on avian ecology and behaviour at migratory stopovers. This research includes studies of landfall
and departure decisions, methods of estimating stopover duration and fuel deposition rate, habitat requirements of migrants at stopovers.
