Update:
October 2025
I am really excited about a UC summer scholar signing up to help develop and trial methods to monitor feral pigs, and their impacts, in an Alpine environment.
Emily Bennitt (co-investigator based at the Okavango Research Institute), Zarah Schwann and Clarissa Schill (PhD students) recently represented Project ANTELOPE at the SASSCAL 2.0 Science Conference held in Luanda, Angola from 7-9 October.
It has been a relatively productive couple of months, culminating in three new manuscripts being submitted for peer-review. If, for example, you're interested in how small mammals respond to an ephemeral food resource and increased predator presence, be sure to revisit this site for updates on manuscript progress.

Thoughts, musings, and ruminations
(Coming soon) This blog is a place to share occasional reflections that fall outside formal publications — ideas sparked by fieldwork, lessons learned from data, emerging literature, or thoughts on teaching and mentoring. Posts here are informal and written in accessible language, aiming to make complex ecological questions more approachable and to show how science works behind the scenes.
Topics may range from habitat selection and animal movement to environmental monitoring, conservation management, or the realities of field research in wild and sometimes unpredictable places.
All views expressed are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer, funders, or collaborators.
If you’re a student, researcher, or anyone curious about wildlife, conservation, or ecology in practice, I hope these notes provide something useful, thought-provoking, or are simply enjoyable. Feel free to reach out or comment — good science grows through conversation.
