About
The main focus of my research is the impact of environmental drivers on the spatial population trends of birds and other organisms. I am interested in modelling frameworks that can inform conservation management and the control of invasive species.
Biography
For instance, in the project Cumulative Human Impact on biRd Populations (CHIRP; http://www.chirpscholekster.nl/) we study the integrated effect of various environmental drivers on the migratory network and population dynamics of oystercatchers. This type of research is enabled through collaboration within the inter-institutional Centre for Avian Population Studies. I’m a tenured assistant professor (https://www.ru.nl/english/people/jongejans-e/) at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, and since 2021 an Honorary Fellow at NIOO.

Honorary fellows of NIOO-KNAW
The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) collaborates with many researchers in the Netherlands and abroad. The honorary fellows are a special category in this respect. From within their own institute or university, they collaborate with NIOO colleagues to strengthen the working field by sharing knowledge and ideas. Consequently, they also regularly conduct joint research at NIOO, set up new projects or publish research results together. We currently have nine talented honorary fellows.
