Current PhD students Nitara Wijayatilake is conducting research on how pathogens and behavioural contagions spread through animal social networks, as well as how individuals may vary in their importance to social contagions and response to infectious disease risk.
Current MSc students Kayleigh Neil is extending a higher-order network model for vocal coordination of group departures (see here for the original model).
Previous students Honours students 2023/2024 Charlotte Naismith analysed data on vigilance and aggression in winter foraging flocks of brent geese. Amelie Renwick Wilson used social network analysis to test how social connectivity is associated with the survival of Soay sheep lambs (co-supervised with Dan Nussey). Ross Beattie used social network analysis to test how social connectivity is associated with the survival of adult female Soay sheep (co-supervised with Dan Nussey).
