Mr. Eelke Folmer

Eelke Folmer is an ecologist specialized in theoretical, spatial, terrestrial and marine ecology. At Alkyon he is part of the ecomorphology team that investigates the reciprocal relationship between organisms and their (abiotic) environment.
For his PhD research Eelke focussed on low-tide shorebird distributions in relation to resources, the abiotic environment and each other (conspecifics). In this context he developed and applied spatial statistical models (particularly spatial autoregressive models). He has also done research on the spatial distribution of seagrass at the Banc d’Arguin in Mauretania to determine the impact of seagrass on sedimentation and vice versa. For that purpose use was made of remote sensing, classification algorithms and for estimation of the reciprocal effects, structural equation modeling (SEM).
