Scientist applying animal behaviour to wildlife management. Fascinated by species interactions, sensory ecology, and individuality.

Our new paper! Moving beyond the ‘average’ pest, we provide a framework that integrates sensory cues, individual difference, and animal motivations for effective vertebrate management - https://t.co/wQsYfYIqnj. @Trends_Ecol_Evo

Does personality, sex, and trap type influence capture success? We discoverd that stoats that evaded capture were shy, less active, less exploratory and neophobic. Shy females were the hardest to catch!

Successful management of the invasive stoat in New Zealand may need to consider the mammal's personality and sex 🦦

Shy and female stoats generally had lower susceptibility to trap devices compared to males 📊

We are seeking 2 x postdocs to join our team to develop a ML-based framework for 'predicting invasiveness' from genomes. Located at Manaaki Whenua, Lincoln (@mwlr_nz) or University of Waikato, Hamilton (@waikato) with Angela McGaughran (@ang_mcgaughran) and myself. Links below.

@JacquelineBeggs @Colette_Keeha @mc_stanley1 @ScienceUoA Congrats Jess!!

@SophieLGilbert Not in my opinion. If an animal's population can sustain a harvest that doesn't justify a harvest. We do not have dominion over life on this planet.

Current soil moisture deficits around NZ. Also worth pointing out that it's been four years since NZ last had a month of below-average temperatures
