Liam Langley

Liam Langley is a Research Fellow at Heriot-Watt University, affiliated with the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society and based at The Lyell Centre. His research focuses on the ecology and behavior of marine birds, particularly gulls.

His primary research areas include Ecology, Ornithology, Marine Ecology, Animal Behavior, Foraging Behavior, and Conservation Biology. He studies how environmental factors and social interactions influence foraging strategies and habitat use in colonial seabirds, with a focus on lesser black-backed gulls.

Recent publications demonstrate his expertise in understanding the segregation of foraging habitats between urban and coastal breeding populations of gulls and the role of competition and facilitation in central place foraging. His work integrates field observations with ecological modeling to address conservation challenges in human-dominated landscapes.
