About

Patrick Doncaster is in the School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences.

Patrick's research includes theory and fieldwork on the movements of individuals within and between local populations, and their adaptations to crowded environments. He studies forest biodiversity and the interactions between humans and predators and their shared prey, acoustic ecology and applications of open-source conservation technology, early warning signals of tipping points in living systems under anthropogenic stress, and mechanisms for climate-change mitigation. He uses and develops robust methods of evidence-based analysis.
