KARL VON FRISCH (1886-1982)
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1973 (prize share 1/3). Born: 20 November 1886, Vienna, Austria. Died: 12 June 1982, Munich, West Germany.

Affiliation at the time of the award: Zoologisches Institut der Universität München, Munich, Germany.

Work
Some animal and human patterns of behavior are innate. Examples of such behavioral patterns in animals can be seen in how they convey information to one another, how they behave when mating and how they care for their young. Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen made pioneering contributions within ethology by studying animal behavior. At the end of the 1920s, von Frisch pointed out that when bees find nectar in a flower, they fly in a special pattern and perform a kind of dance that shows other bees in the vicinity where to find the nectar.

KONRAD LORENZ (1903-1989)
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1973 (prize share 1/3). Born: 7 November 1903, Vienna, Austria. Died: 27 February 1989, Vienna, Austria.

Affiliation at the time of the award: Konrad-Lorenz-Institut der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissen­schaften, Forschungsstelle für Ethologie, Altenberg; Grünau im Almtal, Austria; Max-Planck-Institut für Verhaltensphysiologie, Seewiesen, Germany.

Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen made pioneering contributions within ethnology by studying animal behavior. Among other things, Konrad Lorenz revealed in the 1930s that birds hatched in an incubator without the presence of their parents follow whatever they first catch sight of. For example, they can become fixated on a person.

NIKOLAAS TINBERGEN (1907-1988)
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1973 (prize share 1/3). Born: 15 April 1907, the Hague, the Netherlands. Died: 21 December 1988, Oxford, United Kingdom.

Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom

Karl von Frisch, Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen made pioneering contributions within ethology by studying animal behavior. Nikolaas Tinbergen used dummies in his experiments. One of his discoveries at the end of the 1930s was that birds preferred to brood eggs with exaggerated markings in the form of size, spots and color.
