Akanksha Rathore

Akanksha Rathore is a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, affiliated with the Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies. Her work integrates animal behavior studies with advanced technologies like UAV-based tracking systems. She focuses on understanding collective animal behaviors, wildlife ecology, and seed dispersal mechanisms in tropical ecosystems.

Her research spans topics such as multi-object tracking in heterogeneous environments, lekking behavior in antelopes, and the ecological roles of hornbills in seed dispersal. She has contributed to studies in tropical forests of the Indian Eastern Himalayas and investigates group dynamics under threat scenarios. Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining field observations with computational methods.

Rathore’s address is at Am Obstberg 1, 78315 Radolfzell, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
