Our studies deal with animal behaviour and population biology, often with clear connections to their sustainable management and/or conservation. We for example examine:

  1. how animals move and use their environment (migration, habitat selection and foraging)
  2. how this is linked to the population processes (dispersal and survival)
  3. how life history trade-offs (such as between reproduction and survival) evolve
  4. how many individuals there are (and where) in elusive species, and
  5. 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.
