I worked as a research intern at Lammi Biological Station, focusing on the drumming behavior of the Eurasian three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus), a keystone species in boreal forests. My project, "Exploring the Drumming in the Duetting of Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker," aimed to uncover differences in drumming patterns between single individuals and duetting pairs. Through acoustic analyses and behavioral observations in South Finland's Evo Hiking Area, I investigated various aspects of drumming, including speed, stroke count, and intensity.Key findings revealed that single woodpeckers produced faster and more intense drumming rolls compared to duetting pairs. This suggests that individuals drum more intensely to broadcast signals over longer distances, while duetting pairs communicate more subtly due to their proximity. This research enhances understanding of avian acoustic communication and provides insights into the social behaviors and ecological significance of the three-toed woodpecker, contributing to conservation efforts by informing habitat management strategies.Additionally, I gained hands-on experience with fieldwork, acoustic data analysis, and behavioral ecology research methods, which have significantly enriched my skill set and prepared me for future endeavors in wildlife research and conservation.During my internship, I also delivered two presentations that received positive feedback from my supervisor and the audience. The first presentation was a workshop on identifying different woodpecker species in Finland based on their drumming patterns. The second was my final research presentation, titled "Explore the Use of Drumming in the Duetting Behaviors of Eurasian Three-toed Woodpecker". Both presentations were well-received and contributed to my communication and presentation skills.

I worked as a research intern in Biodiversity and Sustainability Lab in Environmental Research Center (ERC) My job as a research intern included: - Co-organizing the vegetation quadrat sampling in Wanglang Nature Reserve, which is an important giant panda habitat, to assess the ecological restoration after the stop of grazing in the area; - Identifying and categorizing the wildlife in the photos taken by trail cameras in Wanglang Nature Reserve and Baishuijiang Nature Reserve to monitor the influence of grazing on the ecosystem;- Categorizing and analyzed the data in a pioneering nation-wide research on bird-window collision in China to reduce and prevent the occurrence of bird-window collision, as well as participating in the writing and editing of the articles on bird-window collision in popular science platforms.
