Ecological modeling in two areas: species distribution modeling using commonness optimization and risk assessment for honeybees
(2024-07-09)Ecological systems are complex. Ecological models are simplified versions of ecological systems. Scientists use ecological models to better understand and manage ecological systems. I applied ecological models in two ... -
Effects of managed forest stand composition on small mammal demography and reciprocal effects on seed predation patterns in Northern Germany
(2024-04-08)In an effort to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, forest managers in Central Europe increasingly turn to conifer species that produce higher yields and are better adapted to projected future climatic conditions. ... -
Improving rhinoceros conservation and management through behaviour-based research: Evidence from Botswana
(2023-07-07)Illegal wildlife trafficking is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Some of the most targeted species of illegal wildlife trade are rhinoceroses (“rhinos”), which exist nowadays in distinct populations in several ... -
Distribution, ecology and conservation priorities of the critically endangered Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus Bureš, 1941)
(2022-10-11)Large-bodied mammals require large space for their daily activities, sometimes causing conflicts with humans. Although Europe’s policy ushered the comeback of herbivores and large carnivores, the overcrowded continent ... -
Combining landscape genetics and movement ecology to assess functional connectivity for red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
(2021-06-15)Human-caused restrictions like the fragmentation of the landscape poses a major challenge to wildlife conservation. Large and mobile species such as red deer (Cervus elaphus) are subject to increasing effects of isolation ... -
Norway spruce in German low mountain ranges – morphological distinctiveness and genetic adaptation of high elevation provenances
(2021-05-20)The natural range of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] KARST.) populations in Germany are the low mountain ranges. But in the last decades and centuries anthropogenic stand establishment highly increased the area covered ... -
Advancing our understanding of animal dispersal and functional connectivity in human-altered landscapes: conceptual considerations and their empirical and simulation-based demonstration
(2020-08-21)Dispersal, the movement from a natal site to a new breeding site, is a key process in ecology and evolution. By determining the dynamics and distribution of populations and gene flow among them, dispersal is essential for ... -
Identification of the specific volatile organic compounds emitted by Anoplophora glabripennis (Moschulsky)
(2020-04-21)The globalisation and the increasing international trade have raised the number and risk of introduction of foreign species and invasive pests for years. Although native species have adapted to the native habitat over many ... -
Infochemikalien von Stamm und Wurzel der Rot-Buche (Fagus sylvatica L.): Methodenentwicklung und Betrachtung des VOC-Musters
(2020-02-26)Plant emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) can be affected by changing environmental conditions such as temperature and drought. VOC play an important role in the interaction between plants and insects. For instance, ... -
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Wildlife Warning Reflectors to Mitigate Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions on Roads
(2018-12-04)Summary Wildlife-vehicle collisions cause human fatalities as well as economic and ecological losses on roads worldwide. Multiple mitigation measures have been developed over the past decades, while wildlife warning ... -
Evaluating, Implementing, and Applying Methods for Analysing Animal Biotelemetry Data
(2016-04-19)Movement ecology is an emerging discipline within ecology. Researchers addressing ba- sic and applied questions within the movement ecology framework often rely on animal biotelemetry data. Biotelemetry sensors can collect ... -
Analyse von Schälschadensinventuren in Harz und Solling
(2015-06-18)The present work represents the continuation of a project that examined the causal relationships between environmental factors and the occurrence of bark stripping on spruce by red deer in the Harz and Solling mountains ... -
Habitat Suitability Modeling for Tiger (Panthera tigris) in the Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve, Northern Myanmar
(2012-10-11)This study based on the aim to contribute to the effective conservation of suitable tiger habitat by drawing habitat suitability map. We modeled habitat suitability using the empirical multivariate approach of the ...
