RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

 

2014 – 2020    PhD, Dissertation: Sitatunga population ecology and habitat use in central Uganda

University of Alberta

Field Site: Mayanja River Basin, Central Uganda

Key activities:

• Mark-recapture of sitatunga via photography and individual identification

• Catalog markings of individual sitatunga

• Deploy and maintain camera traps in papyrus marsh

• Analyze camera trap data to estimate density, explore community ecology, and space use
