| Description | NEW: The project takes place in the Australian outbacks at Fowlers gap Arid Zone Research Station in NSW where a team of researchers and students (from WUR, Macquarie University, Sydney) studies the ecology of wild zebra finches. This project will focus in general on their communication during breeding but a range of options are possible so that specific projects have to be discussed. The population we are studying is well managed with good logistics. Field work will require long hours, in part high temperature and team work (and team accommodation). Field season commonly starts in September/October and lasts for a few weeks.
BSc projects will be based in Wageningen using data collected during the field work For specifics please contact Marc Naguib |
