University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam has a 2-year position to offer in a new research project related to participatory modelling of future urban mobility systems in Potsdam/near Berlin, Germ[…]

The aim is to develop new indicators of the vitality of honeybee colonies which inform about how much they are affected by stressors. The project will use data from a new electronic counter of the flight activity of a colony with data from drone-based surveys of flowering plants in the surrounding landscape to inform the agent-based honeybee model BEEHAVE (http://beehave-model.net/). BEEHAVE will then be used to develop stress tests for identifying new indicators.
