Bart Kranstauber
Curriculum Vitae
2008-2009 Data standards development for animal movement data, MPI for Ornithology, Germany
Oct 2008 MSc in Topmaster Evolutionary Biology, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Sep 2006 BSc in Biology, Leiden University, The Netherlands
Research Interests & Goals
My research focuses on animal movement; I'm looking for environmental and internal factors influencing how and where animals move. This includes changes from breeding to migratory movements and the influence of wind on migrations.
