Evolution Literacy Evolution
For the past 15 years, I have been studying the ways in which an understanding of animal behavior and behavioral ecology can be applied to conservation strategies such as reintroductions and translocations. In general, my research has focused on using basic theory to create effective and efficient
evolutionary-biology research being conducted in the archipelago’s terrestrial and aquatic environments; the conflicts resulting from human interactions with nature, including local population growth and tourism practices in the context of short- and long-term conservation efforts; and make predictions about the destiny of the Gambia's unique biodiversity and landscapes under various scenarios of climate-change impacts, urbanization trends, diversification of tourism, and conservation investments. Offering over 260 figures and diagrams, this work will appeal to a broad audience, including professors in academia, college instructors, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and research undergraduates

I would recommend joining our member Social events (dates here) which is a great way to get to know other members.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Dear Joe,
Welcome to WildHub! It's fantastic to have someone with your expertise and passion for global welfare and conservation join the community. Your work and interest in the evolution of biodiversity in terrestrial and aquatic environments, as well as the complexities of human-nature interactions, are critical topics in today’s conservation efforts.
I'm particularly intrigued by your focus on the future of Gambia’s biodiversity under varying climate change and urbanization scenarios. What do you think will be the most significant challenge in balancing conservation with the growing tourism sector?
We’re looking forward to your contributions and discussions in the community!
