Dr. Roseline C. Beudels-Jamar:
Protecting Sahelian Antelopes
Dr. Roseline C. Beudels-Jamar is currently with the Conservation Biology section of the Royal Institute of
Natural Science of Belgium. She is mostly involved with research and studies related to threatened species,
detection of species and populations at risk, their evolutionary history, biogeography, eco-ethology and
trends, the prediction of the dynamics and extinction risks of smallpopulations, the development of data
collection methodologies adapted to vulnerable species, in particular,individualmarking, identification
and monitoring techniques, to the design and implementation of restorationprogrammes. She has been involved
with migratory species conservation for the last 10 years through the work of the CMS Scientific Council,
within she actss as the focal point for the Sahelo-Saharan Antelopes CMS concerted action.

sucesses to date and ways forward
He is a Chief Research Officer in the Avian Demography Unit, University of Cape Town. He has studies the
biology of seabirds for over thirty years in southern Africa and in the sub-Antarctic, but now concentrates
on policy research an conservation issues. John Cooper is especially interested in supporting initiatives
by internatinal bodies to improve the status of threatened seabirds and their habitats on global scale. To
this end he has worked with the Bonn Convention on Migratory Species and its Agreements, as well as with

Prof. Dr. Boris Culik:
Albatrosses, penguins, whales and turtles: wanderer of the oceans
Er studierte Toronto, Kanada Biologie. Im Rahmen seiner Diplomarbeit galt sein Interesse der Wolfsspinne
"Geolycosa domifex", ihrem Verhalten und Energiebedarf. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach
München arbeitete Culik 1980 zunächst als Pharmaberater. Im Frühjahr 1982 hörte er erstmals
von der Deutschen Antarktisforschung und stellte sich am Kieler Institut für Meereskunde vor. Seither
beschäftigte er sich mit Pinguinen und Walen. Während er sich in seiner Doktorarbeit noch mit
einem ökotoxikologischen Thema befasste,der Fluoridbelastung krillfressender Pinguine, untersuchte er
in seiner Habilitationsschrift das Verhalten und den Energiebedarf von antarktischen Pinguinen. In den
letzten Jahren hat Prof. Culik die Pinguine allerdings etwas aus den Augen verloren: jetzt untersucht er
das Verhalten von Walen, genauer gesagt von Schweinswalen. Sie leben an den deutschen Küsten und sind
vor allem durch Netze, zum Beispiel Treib- und Stellnetze und durch Großbaustellen der Offshore-Windindustrie
gefährdet. Culiks Doktoranden widmen sich den Grauwalen vor der mexikanischen Küste und den Tümmlern
vor Chile. Auch hier sind jedoch die Auswirkungen des Menschen, die Umweltveränderungen und Störungen
Thema der Untersuchungen. Prof. Culik ist Autor von über 100 Veröffentlichungen, hat 5 Bücher über
Pinguine verfasst, darunter ein Was-ist-was Buch für Kinder und hat mehrere Stunden original Filmaufnahmen
seiner Expeditionen in TV-Dokumentarsendungen gezeigt. Auf der Internetseite der „Convention on
Migratory Species“ ist Culiks letzte Publikation zu finden, ein über 300 Seiten starke
Enzyklopädie der Kleinwale, ihrer Verbreitung, ihres Wanderverhaltens und ihrer Bedrohung.
Prof. Culik hat über 20 Expeditionen in die Antarktis, nach Chile, Mexiko und Kanada durchgeführt
um Pinguine, Wale und Schweinswale vor Ort zu studieren. Seine Bilder und Ergebnisse hat er in über 100
Vorträgen auf Konferenzen und vor interessierten Laien an Land und auf See vorgestellt.

Dr. Rainer Froese:
Why a fish? An Example of Sucessful Usage of the Internet
He is senior scientist at the Leibniz Institute of Marinen Science, Kiel. After a first professional career
as nautical officer with the German merchant navy -including a licence to steer ships on all ocenas-
he began studying Biology in 1977 at Hamburg University, obtained his Masters degree in 1985 at Kiel
University and received his doctorate in Fisheries Biology in 1990 from Hamburg University. He has authored
or co-authored over 100 scientific publications dealing with fish and fisheries, and increasingly also with
biodiversity of fish and other groups. Sicne 1990 heis the coordinator of FishBase, a large information
system on all fishes of the world ( www.fishbase.org).
FishBase is currently the most widely used biological information system, with more than 12 million hits
per month, and it thus provides insights on what users may expect from similar initatives. Rainer Froese
was member of the Species 2000 management team (www.sp2000.org), where
he designed and produced the now annual"Catalogue of Live" CD-ROM. Since June 2001 he is a member
of the International Committee of the Ocean Biogeographic Informatin System (OBIS). In 2003 he received the
prestigious Pew Marine Conservation Fellwoship Award.

Geograhical Systems within the project "Global Register of Migratory Species"
(www.groms.de). In 2003 she started her PhD thesis at the
Alexander Koenig Research Insitute in Bonn about application of satellite telemetry and remote sensing
technology for the conservation of migratory birds.

latitudinal frontier of stable isotope analysis in New World
He was born in 1968 and studied biology and ecology at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and at the
University of California at Davis, U.S.A. He started working on the ecology of Bolivian birds in 1995 and

structure, diversity and dynamics of Andean forest bird communities in Bolivia. He currently is scientific
director of the Bolivian partner of BirdLife International, Asociación Armonía, and director of the
biological field station “Los Volcanes”, conducting research on the factors determining local
bird diversity in Andean dry forests and on the temporal dynamics of neotropical bird communities.

The Fourth Dimension: Overview of Altitudinal Migration
Stefan Kreft (born in Iserlohn, Federal Republic of Germany, in 1971) studied zoology and nature
conservation at the universities of Tübingen and Hamburg, Germany. He is currently completing his
dissertation (initiated in 2000), which deals with the movements of animals on the eastern slope of the
eastern Andes of Bolivia, in particular with altitudinal migration of the regional avifauna. This study is
