We are happy to introduce our lab members - today: Annika @annikapeter.bsky.social!
She studies songbird navigation skills for her PhD & is fascinated by all kinds of birds & enjoys observing their behaviour, both at work & in her free time.
Wheatears have a special place in her heart ♥️

Do you want to help make our EOU Fledglings website eounion.org/fledglings extra pretty? 💛
It’s very easy! We’re collecting photos of fledglings – any bird, anywhere in the world. Snapshots from your phone are totally fine!

In cooperation with RWE, we proudly announce the installation of the first #MOTUS station in an offshore wind farm (Amrumbank West) in Germany and in Europe. This will help to fill key knowledge gaps in offshore environmental monitoring. We were supported by our colleagues from Wind Energy Systems

We’re hiring a doctoral researcher in the area of migration ecology.
The work will focus on the question of how and when migratory songbirds learn where their home is using #Motus.

Curious how birds find their way? 🧭🐦
Analyze decades of ringing data to study abnormal migratory routes and uncover what these deviations can reveal about the mechanisms guiding birds on their journeys. Drop me an email for details! #ornithology
