Research


In the Brommer Lab we study a variety of ecological and environmental issues;  in some projects focus is on specific taxa, in others a macroecological approach is used, often including a societal aspect.


Data gathering includes traditional field methods, but also acoustic monitoring and wildlife cameras. Macroecological project often rely on publicly available data. We carry out electronic surveys when study social aspects.
