Bálint PREISZNER, PhD
I graduated as Biology and Geography teacher, during which my graduation work involved conservation ecology of birds, focused on the effects of habitat fragmentation. After a bit of teaching career I returned to the field of avian research and joined the Ornithology Research Group at the University of Pannonia as a PhD student. My thesis work focused on the effects of innovative behaviour on social and breeding success of birds. Currently I work at the lab of Tibor Erős at HUN-REN BLRI, Tihany, where my present day’s leading research interest is the foraging behaviour of freshwater fish, with a special focus on the interaction of native and non-native species. Besides, I participate in several projects of the Erős lab discovering various ecological aspects of fish assemblages, and I also participate in bird migration research (e.g. exploring movement patterns of inland breeding great cormorants and common terns).
