My PhD

My BOU-funded PhD focused on the enigmatic population of tropical Pterodroma petrels on Round Island, Mauritius. The primary aim of my thesis was to explore how individual Round Island petrels do, and don’t, vary in their migratory journeys, and the consequences for the conditions experienced by individuals. I was fortunate to use a long-term geolocator tracking dataset collected by the Institute of Zoology (IOZ; Zoological Society of London), in collaboration with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) and National Parks and Conservation Service (NPCS; Government of Mauritius). My PhD was the first to be funded by the BOU’s John and Pat Warham Studentship Fund.
