Dr Connor Panter is a Researcher within the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham. As a quantitative macroecologist and conservation biologist, Connor studies how human activities shape bird ecology, movement, and mortality. He integrates GPS telemetry, large-scale biodiversity data, and novel data sources to understand species’ responses to environmental change. Connor is particularly interested in developing innovative approaches, including web-sourced media, to study behaviour and conservation across broad scales, with a focus on raptors as a model system.

Associate Professor Arjun Amar is an academic with the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town. Arjun’s research focuses on understanding how birds respond to environmental change of many different forms (land use change, urbanisation, and climate change), with a taxonomic focus on raptors, which has led to an additional focus on conservation conflicts (including gamebird shooting and wind energy developments) and on the evolution of colour polymorphism.
