Project: Vocal communication in the Southern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) and the impact of sex hormones.
My main interest lies in animal behaviour with a focus on acoustic communication and the effects of hormones on the vocal behaviour. Currently, I am particularly interested in how steroid hormones influence the vocal communication of rhinoceroses.
