My PhD will capitalise on the substantial body of existing seabird tracking data to determine the role of habitat accessibility and preference in explaining variation in distribution patterns, both within and between species of Antarctic albatross and petrels. Understanding the distribution patterns of highly mobile predators is critical to making informed conservation and regulatory decisions in the Antarctic. I am interested in using tracking technology and models to better understand and predict movement patterns of mobile species, not only to increase the likelihood of saving vulnerable species from extinction, but also to learn more about community dynamics, competition and specialisation in natural systems. I am funded as a Gates Cambridge Scholar.
