While conservation as a whole fascinates me, my expertise lies in the wildlife trade . The topics and questions my research covers, includes: - The global bird trade - What drives the selection of species in trade? - How much is this selection and our protection of species dependant on their visual attractiveness? - Does everyone, around the world, want the same birds? - The global spider trade!!! - Everything about the spider trade fascinates me as so many parts of it remain a huge unkown - What do the trade networks for spider trade look like? - Can we characterize the buyers and sellers in the trade? - Do we actually know how many species and individuals are being traded and can we determine their sutainability? If you work on the spider trade, or want to, or think you can contribute towards our understanding of it, or just want to listen to me talk about it, please reach out! |
