I am a conservation ecologist, passionate about studying species interactions and restoration landscapes. Currently I am based at the University of Aberdeen where I am pursuing my PhD.
Managing the impact of recovering mobile predators on endangered birds through prey switching: A field experiment in a habitat restoration landscape in the Cairngorms
PhD Aims:
- To study predatory species interaction at human provided carrion sites; whilst evaluating diversionary tactics for endangered prey conservation
PhD Objectives:
- To study trophic interactions between recovering predator species and endangered prey across a restoration landscape
- Evaluating practices that promote positive conservation of predator and prey simultaneously
- Assessing if food provisioning of predators, satiates foraging behaviour, reducing prey switching onto rare species
- To assess the utilisation and access of human provided carrion in upland boreal systems, by recovering predators
- To establish what factors, influence efficiency to manipulate predator food subsidies for conservation benefit
