Josef Hemetsberger

Josef Hemetsberger is affiliated with the Faculty of Life Sciences and works at the Core Facility KLF for Behavior and Cognition. With 32 publications and 25 activities documented, his work focuses on behavioral ecology, ornithology, and climate change impacts on avian populations.

Research Interests: Hemetsberger’s research explores Greylag Goose behavior, including facial recognition algorithms, breeding phenology, and responses to temperature changes. His studies bridge animal cognition, climate adaptation, and population dynamics.

Article Trends: Recent publications analyze temperature effects on breeding, snow cover influence on fledging success, and individuality in goose faces. These works emphasize climate change, behavioral ecology, and technological applications in wildlife studies.

Activities: He participates in academic events like the Biologicum Almtal and contributes to presentations on drone impacts on bird flocks and physiological habituation in geese.
