Valentin Graf: The importance of individual behavior for bird-mediated seed dispersal

In our latest post Valentin Graf, PhD student at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Frankfurt, presents his work ‘Individual behavior shapes patterns of bird-mediated seed dispersal’. He discusses the importance of moving from species to individual scale in ecology, shares how he overcame setbacks at the beginning of the research project, and shows how leaving the ground can help doing fieldwork.  About … Continue reading Valentin Graf: The importance of individual behavior for bird-mediated seed dispersal
