RESEARCH
Phylogeny and ecology of the Himalayan wolf
DPhil student at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford
My research focuses on the phylogeny, ecology and conservation of wolves in the high altitude regions of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau in Central Asia. The goals of this research are to provide an ecological and phylogenetic data basis around the Himalayan wolf to inform conservation and generate insights into canid evolution. My work is driven by the appreciation that maintaining healthy carnivore populations is interrelated with conserving the integrity of the ecosystems they inhabit.

Bug’s the word
For many people the sight, or perhaps even just the thought, of bugs can be enough to make you feel a little uneasy. Invertebrates are an important part of our ecosystems but helping everyone feel the love for them can be a bit tricky.
