Three MSc students at Uni Bern recently completed their MSc theses that I supervised when I was a postdoc in the Conservation Biology group. Laetitia Studer worked on the final year of the Hoopoe post-fledgling project, specifically studying their movement behavior and habitat use. Serena Poloni studied the impact of vineyard protection nets on avian mortality. Loca Robbi developed protocols for using thermal drones to map thermal landscape gradients as part of the Alpine Bird Project. All did an incredible job collecting field data, learning how to analyze them in R and QGIS and then writing up their results in publication format. Serena and Luca continue to work on birds as seasonal interns at the Swiss Ornithological Institute.
