About the author

Connor Panter

Connor is a Lecturer in Ecology and Conservation at the University of Brighton, UK. He is an ecologist and conservation biologist with a particular interest in raptors. Connor’s research interests broadly focus on three main themes: 1) human impacts on biodiversity, 2) applying open-source intelligence to answer ecological questions and 3) exploring how species and their habitats respond to environmental change. Currently, Connor is actively working on investigating pathways for antibiotic resistance in wild bird populations, improving our understanding of space use in European raptors and causes of raptor admissions to rehabilitation centres at varying scales.

If you are interested in any of Connor’s research, please do not hesitate to get in contact.
