She gained her PhD in 1993 from the same University on following research into of white stork food ecology in Upper Swabia and causes of long-term stock development in European and North American songbirds. She held the title of Professor of ecology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in 2001.

Her main research interests include the influence of global climate change and human land use change on animal populations in tropical and temperate areas of the world and evolution of bird communities and bird migration. In addition to research work she also teaches students in the MSc Ecology and Evolution and BSc Biology courses at Goethe University Frankfurt since 2010.
