Research Environment
The Sumasgutner Lab is based at the Konrad Lorenz Research Center for Behavior and Cognition (KLF), a Core Facility of the University of Vienna.
Our group offers a dynamic, collaborative environment at the interface of movement ecology, behavioural ecology, and conservation science. We work across the University of Vienna Biology Building and the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Grünau/Almtal, where we provide direct access to key model systems, including the long-term research on ravens, geese and ibises. We host extensive multi-sensor biologging datasets and maintain established field sites in Vienna (urban kestrels, urban bees), South Africa (crowned eagles in Durban and
red-winged starlings in Cape Town), and on the Galápagos (short-eared owls).
