Alexander Wilson

Alexander Wilson is Lecturer in Behavioural Ecology and Programme Leader for BSc Zoology at the University of Plymouth's School of Biological and Marine Sciences. His research examines animal behavior in ecological contexts, with focus on social networks, predator-prey interactions, and conservation applications.

Key research areas include:

• Collective behavior in marine and terrestrial species
• Individual behavioral variation (animal personality)
• Fisheries conservation and management
• Sensory ecology and decision-making
• Impact of anthropogenic stressors on behavior

Teaching includes modules on Ecology and Diversity of Life, Zoology Field Course (Kenya), and Comparative Zoology. Research methodologies encompass field experiments, sensor tagging, video analysis, and stable isotope techniques applied across diverse taxa from crustaceans to sharks.
