Funded Activity Summary

The effect of environmental disasters on primate behaviour and distribution. This project aims to study how natural disasters affect animal distribution and behaviour and to predict effects of future disasters. Despite recent increases in environmental disasters, no research has considered their effect on wildlife behaviour and distribution using quantitative methods. This project will create quantitative, multilayered models of climate tolerances and in relation to the effects of natural disasters and behavioural adaptations of affected animals. Anticipated outcomes include improved conservation programmes that reduce the effect of severe weather on wildlife when formulating conservation policy in the face of increasing environmental disasters.
