Monique de Jager - an eco-evolutionary perspective on movement

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Group of Wageningen University and Research,  a guest researcher at the Ecology & Biodiversity Group of Utrecht University, and a guest researcher at the Animal Ecology Group of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO).   

With my research, I address challenges in eco-evolutionary feedbacks between environmental changes and individual movement patterns. I am particularly interested in how plants and animals move and why they use certain movement strategies. At NIOO, I am working on a project to estimate goose migration by modelling their movements. At Utrecht University, I collaborate with Prof Merel Soons on seed dispersal by water in lowland streams. At Wageningen University, in collaboration with Utrecht University, I am investigating methods to optimize time interval estimation for camera trapping data analysis.
