We humans are rapidly changing the world around us, both directly and indirectly. Our challenge as ecologists is to understand and predict how this is affecting nature. My own work is primarily on birds that migrate to the Arctic to nest. These birds are not only confronted by the changing Arctic, where temperatures are rising faster than elsewhere on Earth, but also by man-induced changes in their wintering areas closer to (my) home. Some bird species profit from these changes and become so-called pest species, whereas other species pay the price and decline. My main focus is on decisions of where and when to move: how animals (should) explore their surroundings and exploit their resources. The approach taken is a combination of field, experimental and modelling work. Eventually, I try to understand and predict patterns at the population level (i.e., animal distribution and abundance) from processes acting at the individual level.
