#introduction Let me introduce myself: I am a #wildlife ecologist at the #leibniz-izw in Berlin, Germany. I am an.eco-physiologist by training who moved from #behavioralbiology to #ecology, and now more and more to #conservation research. I am head of Dept EvoEco at leibniz-izw and lecturer at FU Berlin. My vision is to turn human-wildlife conflicts into coexistence. I work mostly with #bats since they have amazing adaptations + many species are on their way out more. See www.batlab.de
