PhD candidate in the Global Change and Tropical Conservation Lab at the University of Hong Kong. Working on pangolins and wildlife trade.

[Dr. Alice C Hughes @AliceCHughes]

For many species we have virtually no funding for research, handicapping our ability to target conservation actions effectively.Sadly when we explore how funds are allocated -megafauna almost always get the lions share, leaving most taxa neglected https://t.co/rVNllDcSBw

I hope everything I’ve learnt along the way will help others embarking on these kinds of studies. Thanks tons to my team: @dr_dingle, @bonebraking, @thedmbaker, @AA_Andersson, @ChloeWebster19 and @evenymleung10, I couldn’t have done it without all of you!

Excited to share my first PhD chapter, now available #openaccess in Biological Reviews! When embarking on a PhD investigating #pangolintrade using #stableisotopes I soon realized all was not as straightforward as expected. It’s been a steep learning curve!

Now out in Biological Reviews - Wildlife trade investigations benefit from multivariate stable isotope analyses - led by @TraceyPrigge w/ @AA_Andersson @ChloeWebster19 @evenymleung10 @thedmbaker @dr_dingle https://t.co/lkutyA8FHh

[David Baker @thedmbaker]

It’s happening! Join us in Sept 2025 for a new Master of Science in Integrative Marine Ecology and Conservation where we will explore the oceans with top international scientists. Admissions open mid-December @HKUniversity @SWIMSHKU https://t.co/rRKJWVSsMO

Big thanks to everyone that visited my poster yesterday; had so many great conversations about stable isotopes, genomics, pangolins and wildlife trade! Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to know more! #ESA2024

[Tracey-Leigh Prigge 👩🏻‍🔬🧬🧪🇿🇦🇭🇰 @TraceyPrigge]

#ESA2024 folks, come check out our pangolin posters today! @biotia99 and I are excited to share our research with you! Posters 33 and 34 😊 @ESA_org

Where did these #pangolin scales come from in Africa? Ongoing work by @TraceyPrigge for her #PhD combines #stableisotopeanalysis and #genomics to determine geographic origin of #seized scales 💪🏼 ⚛️🧬🧑🏻‍🔬
