I obtained my PhD (cum laude) in 2013 and subsequently worked for ten years as a postdoctoral researcher in The Netherlands (University of Groningen and NIOZ) and France (CNRS). I have developed expertise in spoonbills and in statistical analyses of count, ringing, and tracking data to map the survival, distribution, and behavior of birds. With my work, I hope to contribute to a better protection of our environment \u2013 an environment where humans and nature live in harmony, which is essential to ensure a healthy and climate-resilient future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-541a6b20\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/ecomoves.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC_7454-2-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecomoves.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC_7454-2-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecomoves.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC_7454-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecomoves.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DSC_7454-2-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-327ecd92 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-social-links-is-layout-bce2d795 wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:0px;margin-right:0;margin-left:0\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-linkedin  wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tamar-lok-6871655a\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M19.7,3H4.3C3.582,3,3,3.582,3,4.3v15.4C3,20.418,3.582,21,4.3,21h15.4c0.718,0,1.3-0.582,1.3-1.3V4.3 C21,3.582,20.418,3,19.7,3z M8.339,18.338H5.667v-8.59h2.672V18.338z M7.004,8.574c-0.857,0-1.549-0.694-1.549-1.548 c0-0.855,0.691-1.548,1.549-1.548c0.854,0,1.547,0.694,1.547,1.548C8.551,7.881,7.858,8.574,7.004,8.574z M18.339,18.338h-2.669 v-4.177c0-0.996-0.017-2.278-1.387-2.278c-1.389,0-1.601,1.086-1.601,2.206v4.249h-2.667v-8.59h2.559v1.174h0.037 c0.356-0.675,1.227-1.387,2.526-1.387c2.703,0,3.203,1.779,3.203,4.092V18.338z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-bluesky  wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/tamarlok.bsky.social\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.3,4.2c2.3,1.7,4.8,5.3,5.7,7.2.9-1.9,3.4-5.4,5.7-7.2,1.7-1.3,4.3-2.2,4.3.9s-.4,5.2-.6,5.9c-.7,2.6-3.3,3.2-5.6,2.8,4,.7,5.1,3,2.9,5.3-5,5.2-6.7-2.8-6.7-2.8,0,0-1.7,8-6.7,2.8-2.2-2.3-1.2-4.6,2.9-5.3-2.3.4-4.9-.3-5.6-2.8-.2-.7-.6-5.3-.6-5.9,0-3.1,2.7-2.1,4.3-.9h0Z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Bluesky<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-github  wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/tamarlok\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12,2C6.477,2,2,6.477,2,12c0,4.419,2.865,8.166,6.839,9.489c0.5,0.09,0.682-0.218,0.682-0.484 c0-0.236-0.009-0.866-0.014-1.699c-2.782,0.602-3.369-1.34-3.369-1.34c-0.455-1.157-1.11-1.465-1.11-1.465 c-0.909-0.62,0.069-0.608,0.069-0.608c1.004,0.071,1.532,1.03,1.532,1.03c0.891,1.529,2.341,1.089,2.91,0.833 c0.091-0.647,0.349-1.086,0.635-1.337c-2.22-0.251-4.555-1.111-4.555-4.943c0-1.091,0.39-1.984,1.03-2.682 C6.546,8.54,6.202,7.524,6.746,6.148c0,0,0.84-0.269,2.75,1.025C10.295,6.95,11.15,6.84,12,6.836 c0.85,0.004,1.705,0.114,2.504,0.336c1.909-1.294,2.748-1.025,2.748-1.025c0.546,1.376,0.202,2.394,0.1,2.646 c0.64,0.699,1.026,1.591,1.026,2.682c0,3.841-2.337,4.687-4.565,4.935c0.359,0.307,0.679,0.917,0.679,1.852 c0,1.335-0.012,2.415-0.012,2.741c0,0.269,0.18,0.579,0.688,0.481C19.138,20.161,22,16.416,22,12C22,6.477,17.523,2,12,2z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">GitHub<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px;width:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-fd0eeb70\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display: flex;
