Samuel graduated in Marine Biology from the University of Aberdeen in 2018 and then worked as a senior research assistant for a GPS tracking project on 4 species of seabirds in 2018 and 2019.
The foraging ecology of great black-backed gulls and their potential effects on puffin populations
PhD Aims:
- To explore the foraging ecology of great black-backed gulls at a spatial, temporal, and dietary level using a combination of different techniques
- Part of this will include studying whether neighbouring seabird populations are being affected through predation
