Lucy Garrett

Dr. Lucy Garrett is a Research Lecturer in Animal Science at Hartpury University, focusing on animal behavior and conservation ecology. She holds BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees, is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), and leads the Biodiversity Conservation Masters program.

Research domains include:

• Seabird ecology and population dynamics
• Biodiversity monitoring techniques
• Rewilding and habitat restoration
• Ecoacoustics for ecosystem assessment
• Conservation genetics and social behavior

Her publications focus on seabird behavior, genetic structuring in populations, and innovative conservation methodologies. Research integrates field studies across diverse ecosystems from Mauritius to Ascension Island, employing genetic analysis and behavioral observation.

She leads projects on bioacoustics for farmland management and biodiversity assessment. Current work involves developing app-based tools for farmers to monitor wildlife outcomes. Garrett maintains memberships with British Ornithologists' Union, British Ecological Society, and peer-reviews for Ibis.
