Senior Research Ecologist

Office: Bangor
Team(s): BTO Cymru

Callum works as a Senior Research Ecologist analysing quantitative data from a range of projects from Wales.

Callum’s interests as an ecologist are broad, but centre on how organisms (at individual, population and community scales) respond to changes in their environment, especially when those changes are induced by human activity.

He completed his PhD at Newcastle University, studying how light pollution at night affects the role of moths as pollinators, and undertook two subsequent postdoctoral research positions in Yorkshire investigating the impacts of climate change on butterflies (York) and the ecological value of brownfield sites to birds, plants, and insects (Hull) respectively, before joining the BTO in May 2021.

Callum is based within the BTO Cymru office looking at Welsh bird populations and their conservation.

BA (Hons.) Biological Sciences, University of Oxford, 2013.
