In the Wildlife Ecology Research (WildER) group, we investigate how animals interact with their environment and each other by researching connections between phenotypes, genotypes, species and communities. Based at the University of Helsinki’s Lammi Biological Station, our research begins in our own backyard and extends to Europe through our collaborators. Our work with the Eurasian lynx incorporates aspects from the phenotype to landscape scale to gain a broader understanding of wildlife ecology and forest habitat conservation. Their large home ranges and comparatively low density make the lynx a fascinating species to investigate strategies for acoustic communication. We pioneer non-invasive methods for research and develop and test technology to foster human-wildlife coexistence.
