See the press release for the paper “Mechanistic home range analysis reveals drivers of space use patterns for a non‐territorial passerine” from the university of Sheffield here

Today I reached a first milestone in my PhD studies. Our paper was submitted in the Journal of Animal Ecology after first submitting it in September 2019. We use mathematics to understand how flocks of long-tailed tits live in home range patterns in the Rivelin Valley, Sheffield.

A summary of the paper can be seen in this twitter thread

Today, my first ever paper was published in the Journal of Animal Ecology (@AnimalEcology) and I’m really proud of it. It's a really interesting way of using mathematics to understand the behaviour of long-tailed tits. Thread (1/8) https://t.co/oXERRPhTle

The Faculty of Science wrote this nice article about ‘A Natural Code’

Thanks very much! 😀

Our film on patterns in nature and whale sharks is finally here!

All created by the wonderful film maker Kriss Ceuca!

Enjoy!

This weekend, The Conversation posted an article I wrote on Turing patterns and my research. It was the lead story for a short while!

I’ve just got back from the island of Dhigurah where I spent two weeks with the Maldives Whale Shark Research Program. I learnt to snorkel, free dive and collect data on the wonderful mega fauna in the reef. Here’s a shot of myself and a Whale Shark we swam with for almost an hour, taken by one of the wonderful staff members, Bas.

Today is the screening of my story to find a Harpy Eagle in the Rain Forests of Guyana! I’m very excited and proud of Dan O’Neill for creating it and taking me there! Look at this wonderful poster!
