Department of Migration Team

I’m a wildlife biologist specialized in large carnivore ecology and conservation. During my PhD, I investigate the progression of hunting decision-making in African lions (Panthera leo) using a combination of drone technology and computer vision algorithms. I’m also part of the Ecology for Conservation team within the European WildDrone research project.

Jens is a bioacoustician and focuses on echolocation of whales and bats. His research interests combines the areas of sensory ecophysiology, behavioral ecology, and applied ecology. 

I am a mammologist with a background in genetics, camera trapping and animal tracking, with broad interests in ecology and conservation that use multidisciplinary approaches to answer questions using the latest technological advances. I use high-resolution GPS data to assess competitive interactions in neotropical frugivores in collaboration with Meg Crofoot, while also working on developing a kinetic tracking tag in collaboration with Martin Wikelski’s team. My future research goal is to study dispersal of juvenile mammals.
