The Lincoln Swan project

Dr. Jenny Dunn
School of Life Sciences, University of Lincoln
I lead the colour ringing element of the Lincoln Swan project, and my background is in avian ecology and conservation. My research focusses on bird-parasite interactions, and I am interested in how ecological variables affect swan health and parasite infection.

Dr. Laëtitia Maréchal
School of Psychology, University of Lincoln
My research focuses on understanding human-animal interactions to improve both human safety and animal welfare, and I am particularly interested in finding out more about human-swan interactions!

Dr. Teresa Romero
School of Life Sciences, University of Lincoln
I have a deep research interest in the rich social lives of animals and in particular in the nature of animal’s social capacities and their underpinning mechanisms. I am interested in swans’ socio-cognitive abilities and the dynamics of their social relationships.
We are keen to hear from highly motivated potential MSc by Research, PhD or Postdoc candidates
