My main scholarly interests include avian philopatry, dispersal, population dynamics, phenology and impact of climate on birds. Furthermore, I am interested in orientation and navigation, and in
bird migration and behaviour. I am also interested in innovative tracking technologies. Main results of my research are presented in the monographs:
Sokolov L.V. 1997. Philopatry of migratory birds. In: Physiology and General Biology Reviews. Harwood Academic Publishers: Amsterdam. 60 p. PDF
Sokolov L.V. 2010. Climate in life of plants and animals. Tessa: St. Petersburg. 343 p.
Work:
- 1973 - current: junior researcher, researcher, senior researcher at the Biological Station Rybachy, Zoological Institute.
- 1971-1973: research assistant, Biological Research Institute, Leningrad State University.
Education:
- 1983: Awarded a Ph.D. on 'Imprinting of the future breeding territory in migratory passerines birds' from the Zoological Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.
- 1971: Master of Science in Biology from St. Petersburg State University.
Conferences:
