Movement ecology of waterbirds
Countless waterbirds constantly move around the world, and it is always a fascinating phenomenon for both public and researchers. However, when and where the waterbird decide to move, how they survive in an ever-changing environment, and what the fitness consequences of their movement behavior are, is still not clear. By using the rapidly developing bio-telemetry techniques, I’m currently undertaking a PhD project on determining the causes and consequences of movement in waterbirds in relation to environmental parameters, such as wind, and in relation to internal parameters such as hormones or energy state.
