The wildlife could be used for purposes of research. The animal models could be applied for carrying out any research activity, they can be used for vaccination purposes. The animal models created could be used to serve for the extraction of some beneficial enzymes.
Our research is interdisciplinary in nature and addresses problems that animals cause for people and the conflicts and disputes among people about animal management. We work on the management of native and introduced, wild and domestic species.
Most of our work is conducted on wildlife management in the UK, but we are currently also working in Chad, Ethiopia and Australia. We use a range of techniques and methodologies, from novel, fully-distributed proximity loggers to quantify high resolution contact networks, to qualitative and ethnographic approaches to understanding practices and beliefs in animal management. We aim to achieve goals for controlling and eradicating disease in people and animals, for conserving biodiversity and for improving livelihoods. Our work aims to be useful, to answer worthwhile questions, and to contribute to the development and testing of theory.Students obtain background in the basic sciences (math, chemistry, physics), then learn the basic ecological principles and evolutionary forces that affect wildlife and their associated habitats. Course work then addresses the assessment and management of wildlife resources as well as the biology and natural history of various taxonomic groups. Students are advised to enhance career opportunities via taxonomic proficiency with one or more plant or animal groups, special skills such as GIS, and practical working experience as an intern, volunteer, or paid employee of a conservation agency.
