Alison Eyres

Alison Eyres is a Researcher at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, and a College Research Associate at Emmanuel College. Her work focuses on understanding biodiversity dynamics through macroecology and evolutionary ecology.

• PhD in Ecological and Evolutionary Dynamics, Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (Frankfurt)

Alison’s research spans macroecology, evolutionary ecology, and conservation biology, with an emphasis on how climatic niches and human disturbances affect avian and mammalian species. She integrates climate data with evolutionary patterns to assess long-term biodiversity responses.

Her recent publications highlight trends in agricultural impacts on biodiversity, trait-based vulnerability assessments, and policy frameworks like biodiversity credits and planetary computing. These works address urgent conservation challenges, such as land-use change and species extinction drivers.

Alison collaborates with the Conservation Research Institute to advance data-driven environmental policy and sustainable land-use strategies.
