Peter Mikula<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am a postdoc at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Faculty of Environmental Sciences (Czech University of Life Sciences) (both Czechia), and was a Fulbright Fellow at University of California Los Angeles (USA) during the initial development of this database. I am interested in bird behavior from a macroevolutionary and macroecological perspective, urban ecology and biodiversity, conservation culturomics, and iEcology.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Daniel T. Blumstein<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am a behavioral ecologist and conservation scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles (USA). I have broad interests in anti-predator behavior, communication, the evolution of behavior, conservation science and the integration of behavior into other disciplines.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mario D\u00edaz<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am a conservation biologist at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid (Spain). My main research interest is the integrated analysis of the effects of human management on keystone animal and plant species in man-made systems. By means of multidisciplinary research within large pluridisciplinary teams, my main goal is to contribute to develop land use systems that integrate human and wildlife needs into sustainable socioecological systems.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mike Weston<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am an Associate Professor in Wildlife and Conservation Biology at Deakin University (Australia). I have broad interests centered around human interactions with wildlife, and being solutions-focused I work towards coexistence between wildlife and humans in situations where conflict currently exists.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Piotr Tryjanowski<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am an ecologist with broad interests. Currently working at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Poznan University of Life Sciences (Poland). My research focus on interactions between human and animals, especially in interdisciplinary context. I am big fan of citizen science, and OneHealth concept.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Anders Pape M\u00f8ller<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI have broad research interests in ecology and evolution, with main emphasis currently on the ecological and evolutionary consequences of climate change, Chornobyl, and urbanization, parasite-host coevolution, sexual selection and the evolution of secondary sexual characters.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Jukka Jokim\u00e4ki<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am an ecologist working as a University Researcher at the Arctic Centre, University of Lapland (Finland). My research focus on multiple land use impacts, like urbanization and forestry, on the northern nature.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Tom\u00e1\u0161 Grim<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nPreviously I was a university professor of zoology, I am currently freelance. I am interested in avian behavioral ecology, especially brood parasite-host co-evolution, urban ecology, avian invasions and other related topics.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Tom\u00e1\u0161 Albrecht<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist at Charles University in Prague and the Czech Academy of Sciences. I am interested in behavior, (macro)physiology and (macro)ecology of birds, evolution of avian life histories and mating systems. I conduct detailed studies of birds in both temperate and tropical regions (mainly in tropical Africa).<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Old\u0159ich Tom\u00e1\u0161ek<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am a researcher at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Czech
\nAcademy of Sciences (Czechia). My research interests involve life history evolution, aging, and sexual selection with emphasis on associated physiological mechanisms. Working primarily with birds.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Martin Bulla<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI use birds, mainly shorebirds, to explore (i) rhythms of parental care and how such rhythms emerge, (ii) within- and between-species differences in rhythmicities, as well as (iii) distribution and evolution of traits across the globe. I am a postdoc at Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (Germany) and Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (Czechia) and collaborate with scientists and institutions across the globe.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Federico Morelli<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am a quantitative ecologist currently working at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague (Czech Republic), mainly focused on responses of species distribution to multi-scale predictors; the effects of urbanization and landscape heterogeneity on biodiversity spatial-temporal patterns, and development and test of bioindicators and general topics of macro ecology.<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Daniel Sol<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\n<\/td>\nI am an evolutionary ecologist from the CSIC in Barcelona. My main interest is to understand the causes and consequences of changes in biodiversity associated with biological invasions and habitat loss.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
