MSc Entomology thesis
Exploring the relationships between elevation, species richness and elevational range: Orthoptera in the Pyrenees, Spain, 2021-2022
I am currently researching the effects of elevation on Orthoptera species richness in the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu in the Catalan Pyrenees.
Bird surveys
Bird ringing, Breeding Bird Survey, Waterbird Survey, Projecte Orenetes
When I have time, I take part in standardised surveys in the UK and Catalonia, but the rest of the time, I report my observations through citizen science web-portals which feed data into different areas of research about bird movements and population changes, among others.
Entomology surveys
Bee walk, general observations
Most insects that I record are observations I make on walks or in our garden. I am very grateful for the many volunteers which create fantastic resources for identifying insects and help to check identifications on online platforms.
Cusuco National Park, Honduras
Ornithology surveys in Neotropical rainforest, 2011-2012
I spent two fantastic summers doing bird ringing and point count surveys in the rainforest of Cusuco National Park as part of the biodiversity research programme run by Operation Wallacea.
