David Robinson-Smith

David Robinson-Smith is an Associate Lecturer in Marketing and Operations at the University of Derby, affiliated with the College of Business, Law and Social Sciences. His research focuses on marine ecological systems, particularly the behavioral responses of larval fish to soundscape cues and the acoustic dynamics of coral reef environments. His work bridges ecological acoustics and environmental science, contributing to understanding habitat quality and detection mechanisms in marine ecosystems.

Recent research outputs include studies on larval fish behavior (The good, the bad, and the distant: soundscape cues for larval fish, 2015) and coral reef soundscapes (Habitat quality affects sound production and likely distance of detection on coral reefs, 2014). These studies emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to marine conservation and ecological monitoring. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
