Shawn D.に依頼

India

Behavioural Ecologist with expertise in Data Analysis, Scientific Writing & Research Consulting

プロフィール概要

I am a behavioural ecologist with 8 years of research experience investigating how anthropogenic disturbance alters animal behaviour, trophic interactions, and ecosystem functioning. My work integrates meta-analysis, causal inference, agent-based models, and field experiments to quantify behavioural change and its ecological consequences. I have a strong publication record, experience leading interdisciplinary projects, and a proven ability to tackle complex ecological questions.
