Helgoland field campaign 2025


October 30, 2025

The third autumn fieldwork campaign on Helgoland is now complete! Together with Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior researchers, we tagged 54 blackbirds to study their movement ecology and link it to physiological parameters. Some of this data will be part of Lisa’s BSc thesis, who joined the campaign and quickly learned the basics of bird ringing and cellular respirometry.
