Funded PhD at the University of Bristol combining mathematical modelling and empirical data to study animal movement and behavioural interactions in changing environments.
Project Description
This PhD project investigates animal movement patterns and behavioural interactions using advanced modelling techniques and large empirical datasets.
The research integrates analytical movement models with real-world tracking data from species such as zebra finches and dwarf mongooses. It aims to understand how environmental and social factors influence movement, interactions, and ecological dynamics.
The project combines mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, and potential fieldwork, with collaboration between the University of Bristol and Macquarie University.
