• Research Assistant - Gradientes Colombia

  • May 2015 - Jul 2015

  I spent 3 months as a research assistant leading the banding team in the Colombian cloud forest in Parque Nacional de los Farallones de Cali. We collected blood and macro-parasite samples, as well as morphological measurements, demographic data and moult data. We also coordinated and taught students from ICESI university, who were carrying out projects at the field site. We worked long days (4am-6pm) as a small team in a remote location in hostile terrain and weather conditions. It was a wonderful, biodiverse place to work with warm and wonderful people. The area had not previously been researched; we found some species that were previously unrecorded at our elevation or on our slope of the Andes. I left with vastly improved Spanish... and salsa dancing. Show less

• Coordinator

  • Oct 2012 - Jul 2013

  I carried out my placement year for my undergraduate degree at Cardiff University with Fauna Forever, carrying out an independent research project in the Peruvian Amazon. I studied the phenomenon of the overlap of moulting and breeding in understory birds. While carrying out my own research I coordinated and taught interns and volunteers from around the world. I was able to spend some of my time aiding the other research teams in there activities and learning a broad range of research techniques for surveying primates and mammals, herpetofauna, insects and the surrounding flora, using techniques such as monkey follows, camera trapping, pitfall trapping, transects and point counts. For my study a managed and analysed a large database of recent and historical data. We worked as part of a small and often changing team in an extremely remote region of the Amazon, in extremely hostile conditions. Working alongside local people and I was privileged enough to be among the first group of researchers to visit the remote native settlement of Puerto Nuevo. Show less
