Jennifer Gill is Professor of Applied Ecology at the University of East Anglia. Her research spans bird population responses to environmental change, conservation management for breeding birds and migration ecology. Much of her research involves collaborations with citizen scientists and tracking individual birds on migratory journeys to understand how migratory routes form and change.
Reversing the fortunes of declining populations often requires conservation actions, but how do we know where and when we should target these actions to be most effective? Through analyses of Constant Effort Scheme ringing data, field studies of breeding curlew and long-term tracking of individual black-tailed godwits we explore these questions, and the power of citizen science data to inform conservation targeting.
