Arctic seabirds in the southern Barents Sea: puffins, razorbills, guillemots, gulls and shags swirl across a snowy, mountainous landscape and create a dramatic, cloud-like formation in the sky. Many more are perched on the mountainside.

Tourani Quantitative Ecology Lab

Our research group integrates species monitoring data and statistical models to quantify how wild animals respond to changes in their environment. We study the status, trends, and dynamics of wildlife populations, species, and communities around the world. Our mission is to unravel the consequences of environmental changes, and to tackle challenges in wildlife management and biodiversity conservation.
