- name: Silke Bauer
  role: Project coordinator / WP5 leader
  image: assets/images/silke-bauer.jpg
  description: >
    Animal migrations, especially their large scale patterns and timing are Silke’s core research interest. Although much of her research has been devoted to migrants and migrations themselves, it increasingly also recognizes that migrants can have a multitude of effects and interact with the resident communities visited during their journeys. Silke is a researcher at the [Federal Research Institute (WSL)](https://www.wsl.ch).
