Biography
Scott is an applied ecologist with a strong interest in population ecology and management of wildlife populations. Combining large scale replicated field experiments, cross-sectional and modelling studies Scott’s research aims to understand how natural and anthropogenic factors interact to drive population and community dynamics, and how natural resources can be sustainably managed. His current research interests are focused on understanding how management of the uplands affects biodiversity, the cascading trophic effects of localised nutrient enrichment on upland food webs, wildlife population assessment, and development of novel monitoring tools using emerging digital technologies.
