SUMMARY of research interests (100 words)
David is an ecologist with an interest in the social and spatial behaviour of marine predators. His research uses tracking technologies and network analyses to understand movement ecology and the drivers and consequences of social interactions in fish (including freshwater species). He also has a particular interest in how behaviour can be used to inform applied conservation and species/habitat management.
