Temporal activity patterns of predators and prey across broad geographic scales

Behavioral Ecology paper:  Lang, Mann & Farine 2018 (free access version here)

Location: Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Konstanz, Germany

Research article where I developed a method that uses large datasets of citizen-science bird observation data to calculate the activity patterns of predators and prey from two continents. We investigate the temporal hunting strategies of predators, and how they relate to the temporal activity of prey.

A multidimensional framework for studying social predation strategies

Nature Ecology and Evolution paper:  Lang & Farine 2017 (free access version here)

Location: Max Planck Institute for Ornithology, Konstanz, Germany

Perspectives article where I reviewed the cooperative hunting literature, and built a multidimensional framework to identify and categorise group-hunting species of animals, mapping the diverse landscape of social predation strategies.

Location: Hvanneyri, Iceland

Investigation into the staging ecology and family structure of the Greenland White-fronted goose - during stopover in Iceland as it migrates to breeding grounds in western Greenland.

Abundance and growth rate of juvenile sea bass populations in two estuarine nurseries

BSc 3rd Year Independent Research Project (unpublished) 2011 

Location: River Fal and Helford, Cornwall

This study utilised an existing dataset to examine growth rates, population distributions, and age compositions of juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in the nursery areas of two Cornish estuaries.
