Bachelor and Master theses

We regularly supervise Master and Bachelor theses, and are happy to collaborate on PhD and postdoc projects. Please have a look at our projects and publications to get an idea what topics interest us. These include:

• Global change impacts on biodiversity: range and community shifts, invasive species
• Species distribution modelling
• Spatially explicit dynamic population models and dispersal models
• Occupancy modelling (static and dynamic)
• Automatic monitoring: integrating audio detection and  image recognition
• Movement ecology and animal migration: migration phenology, seasonal niches, home range strategies

Most of our work is based on statistics and/or simulation models. Thus, a base understanding of R programming or C++ programming as well as statistics is prerequisite for working in our team.

When approaching us for a thesis topic, please provide some more information about yourself, e.g. study programme, previous experience in R and statistics (or any other relevant skills), and your time frame. Please be aware that the working language is english.
