In cooperation with RWE, we proudly announce the installation of the first #MOTUS station in an offshore wind farm (Amrumbank West) in Germany and in Europe. This will help to fill key knowledge gaps in offshore environmental monitoring. We were supported by our colleagues from Wind Energy Systems

A skylark I tagged last autumn in northernmost Germany with a #Motus transmitter (to study #pesticide effects) was now detected near our University in Oldenburg - we @migecol.bsky.social col.bsky.social now have data from 3 migration seasons for this bird!

We’re hiring a doctoral researcher in the area of migration ecology.
The work will focus on the question of how and when migratory songbirds learn where their home is using #Motus.

NEW PUBLICATION on stopover ecology of Songbirds during spring migration: After packmor et al. 2020 (Mov Ecol) found that trans-Saharan migrants react differently to weather for migratory departure, we aked ourselves, whether this is also valid for spring migration? 🐦

1. Yellow-browed Warbler tagged in 2025! 🤩
On September 24, @annikapeter.bsky.social tagged the first Yellow-browed warbler (Phylloscopus inornatus) on Helgoland in 2025 to study its migratory behaviour. Stay tuned for fascinating bird tracks!

Meet Lasse,
He‘ll support the working group as a volunteer for the next year, hoping to learn and observe scientific work in the process. While his interests lay elsewhere beforehand, he‘s become curios about the groups work and likes to try to think along :)

This week we were at #BESMove2025, where @giovannasandretti.bsky.social presented our results on the overlooked pre-migratory flights.
The conference title of this year was "Understanding Migration", and she came back home full of fresh insights and great new connections!

Our group is now also involved in the education of future biology teachers here at the University of Oldenburg #birdringing #birdbanding #birdmigration
Great fun to teach students how to catch and handle #birds for scientific studies and how to collect and analyse fecal samples together with @giovannasandretti.bsky.social - but shocking to see how many songbirds´ droppings contain #microplastics

Meet Melanie: she´s the good soul of the working group and our secret star. Nothing works without her & everything works with her. Our technician can do everything & saves the rest of us from putting our foot in our mouths. She is also into plant conservation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_0W...#isoetes

We are happy to announce that the excellence cluster navisense just got funded - one of the biggest achievements possible in German research funding! We will contribute to the interdisciplinary understanding of bird orientation and navigation from social perspectives, to ecology and physics.
Big congrats to the Navisense excellence cluster www.navisense.org that will be funded by the DFG for the next 7 years! Congrats to all of our SFB members that are involved! @genmig.bsky.social @commonternproject.bsky.social @migecol.bsky.social @cataglyphilosophy.bsky.social @olindecke.bsky.social

Introducing Georg:
Ornithologist and movement ecologist in our group, specialising in passerine migration, with a passion for warblers and chats. His work combines hands-on field methods—bird ringing and tagging—with statistical modeling using Bayesian inference frameworks in Julia, R, and Stan.

She moved from Brazil to start her PhD on the autumn migration of Northern Wheatears using #Motus tracking. Her passions include ecology and conservation, especially with birds.
She is excited to her first field season on Norderney in the coming weeks!

Meet Heiko, our group leader! Since kindergarten, he has been fascinated by #birds and has developed a deep passion for their spectacular journeys across continents. This amazing phenomenon motivates him to study their #ecology. He believes such research is essential for protecting #MigratoryBirds
