During the subsequent year I completed an honours degree in zoology, examining variation in the hindgut microbial communities of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) over winter in Crystal River, Florida.
I joined WildCRU in 2013 to commence my DPhil. My thesis will investigate the proximate threats of bushmeat hunting and retaliatory killing of fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox), and provide insight into their conservation through habitat preference, and the pressures of human settlement upon abundance.edit
