The research facilities include a behavioural laboratory, as well as spacious outdoor facilities to study ecological questions on population biology, species community, movement ecology and behavioural ecology. We work with native small mammals (mice and voles) as study systems, since they fulfil important ecological functions: they influence vegetation, but are influenced by predation risk themselves as most mammalian predators and birds of prey hunt for small mammals.
