Jendrik Windt

Jendrik Windt serves as a Scientific Assistant and University Assistant at the Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management within the Department of Ecosystem Management, Climate and Biodiversity at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His professional activities encompass research, teaching, and community engagement in wildlife conservation.

His academic background includes a Master of Science in Wildlife Ecology and Wildlife Management (2017-2020) and a Bachelor of Science in Forestry (2013-2017), providing him with a strong foundation in both ecological theory and practical resource management.

Dr. Windt's research interests prominently feature Animal ecology, Behavioural biology, and Nature conservation, with particular emphasis on raptor species like the red kite. His work integrates field observations with advanced analytical approaches to address critical questions in wildlife population dynamics and habitat use. His research often focuses on how anthropogenic factors influence wildlife behavior and reproduction.

His publication record demonstrates expertise in wildlife tracking technologies, population studies, and conservation biology, with a consistent focus on methodological improvements in ecological research. His work frequently examines the relationship between land cover, habitat use, and reproductive success in bird species.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Short-term scientific mission EUFLYNET (2024)

Dr. Windt actively contributes to multiple significant research initiatives including the European flyway research network for migrant landbirds, studies on governance of migratory species across spatial boundaries, and investigations into anthropogenic impacts on chamois populations. His community involvement extends to membership in the One Health Network Austria and EUFLYNET COST Action, where he participates in organizing major scientific events including the EUFLYNET Annual Meeting 2025 and the AVA Spring Meeting in Vienna.

As a frequent presenter at international conferences across Austria, Mexico, Spain, and the United States, he shares insights on topics ranging from red kite reproduction to dynamic spatial subsidies in conservation. His work bridges scientific research with practical conservation applications, demonstrating commitment to translating ecological findings into actionable management strategies.
