معرفی
Dr. Gabriella Krivek is a researcher at the Applied Zoology and Nature Conservation department within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Greifswald. She works at Soldmannstr. 14 in Greifswald, Germany, where she leads innovative research in automated wildlife monitoring systems, particularly focused on bat populations across Europe.
Her research interests center on automated bat monitoring using advanced technologies. She has developed sophisticated analysis tools including standardized pipelines and BatNet, a deep learning solution for automated bat species identification from camera trap images. Her work enables non-invasive monitoring of bat population dynamics and hibernation phenology at unprecedented accuracy and scale. Currently, she is actively involved in the BatTrend project, integrating automated monitoring methods to improve bat population trend assessments in Germany.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on developing and implementing technological solutions for wildlife conservation. Her work consistently bridges ecological research with technological innovation, particularly in using infrared light barriers, camera traps, and deep learning algorithms to monitor bat populations. The research spans multiple disciplines including ecology, computer vision, and conservation biology, with applications across European ecosystems.
Dr. Krivek collaborates extensively with researchers across institutions, as evidenced by her numerous co-authored publications. Her current BatTrend project represents a significant contribution to German bat conservation efforts, while her earlier work on flying fox conservation in island ecosystems demonstrates broader expertise in wildlife management and habitat restoration.
She has developed several practical tools including BatNet (with an associated video abstract and download) and FlederCam, a self-built video camera system for monitoring nocturnal animal activity. These tools are part of the DIG-IT project, highlighting her commitment to creating accessible monitoring solutions for the conservation community.
