• Research Focus: Population trends of Myotis bechsteinii, M. nattereri, and Plecotus auritus.
• Methods: Analysis of RFID-tagged colony data, evaluation of low-invasive monitoring techniques in bat boxes.

Her work addresses challenges in ecological monitoring due to fission-fusion behavior in bat colonies and aims to standardize conservation strategies. Recent publications highlight her contributions to understanding anthropogenic impacts on bat habitats and behavior.

She collaborates with institutions like the University of Würzburg and contributes to interdisciplinary research in wildlife management and environmental toxicology.
