Our studies deal with animal behaviour and population biology, often with clear connections to their sustainable management and/or conservation. We for example examine:
- how animals move and use their environment (migration, habitat selection and foraging)
- how this is linked to the population processes (dispersal and survival)
- how life history trade-offs (such as between reproduction and survival) evolve
- how many individuals there are (and where) in elusive species, and
- how we could use this information to aid resolving human-wildlife conflicts or management and conservation problems.
Our main study systems are birds of prey and their prey, geese and other waterfowl, and cavity-nesting animals of the boreal forests.
