Forschungsinteressen

In meiner Arbeitsgruppe verfolgen wir ökologische und verhaltensbiologische Forschungsansätze um Anpassungen von Tieren an ihre Umwelt zu verstehen. Dabei bearbeiten wir Themen der Grundlagenforschung wie zum Beispiel die Zusammenhänge zwischen Tierpersönlichkeiten und Lernstilen,  Tierpersönlichkeit und Koexistenz von Arten, bewegungsökologische Biodiversitätsforschung und „Landscape of fear“; aber auch  angewandtere Themen, wie zum Beispiel Verhaltensanpassungen an Urbanisierung, Lichtverschmutzung oder den Zusammenhang zwischen Biodiversität und Krankheitsübertragung.

Aktuell arbeite ich an Verhaltensanpassungen an biologische Invasionsprozesse und die Determinierung von Tierpersönlichkeit kurzlebiger Tiere durch Populationsdichte und Saison.
