معرفی
Dr. Caroline Bettridge is a Senior Lecturer in Zoology at the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences, Bangor University. Her research focuses on primate behavior, conservation biology, and the ecological and social dynamics of animal populations. She has contributed to studies on galagos, white rhinoceros, lion-tailed macaques, and other species, emphasizing conservation strategies, social behavior, and taxonomic research gaps.
Her research interests include understanding primate social structures, population viability in captive environments, and the impact of predation and habitat on species behavior. Notable work includes investigations into the activity budgets of galagos, reproductive success in captive white rhinoceros, and stress indicators in lion-tailed macaques through social network analysis.
Dr. Bettridge’s publications span over a decade, addressing themes such as taxonomic bias in galagid research, population density estimation, and evolutionary trade-offs in primates. She is actively involved in supervising PhD students and has collaborated on projects in diverse ecosystems, including the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Lolldaiga Hills Ranch.
Her work bridges ecological theory with applied conservation, offering insights into mitigating threats to species survival through strategic modeling and community engagement. While no specific scientific awards are listed, her contributions reflect a commitment to advancing knowledge in primate behavior and biodiversity conservation.
