معرفی
Mark Bulling is a Senior Lecturer in Conservation Biology and Ecoscience at the College of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on biodiversity conservation, marine ecosystem health, and the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) technology. Key areas include coral microbiome dynamics, predator-prey interactions, and the impacts of human activities on wildlife populations. His work bridges ecological theory with practical conservation challenges, particularly in marine and freshwater systems.
Research interests span coral health, biodiversity-ecosystem functioning, and the integration of marine ecosystems into health frameworks. Notable contributions include studies on coral disease mechanisms, ghost gear impacts on sea turtles, and predator effects on microbial diversity. His methodologies often combine field observations with molecular tools like eDNA and metabolomics.
- Recent work highlights biodiversity-production feedbacks in agriculture and urban wildlife management.
- Expertise in forensic entomology and microbiological influences on insect development.
- Advocacy for interdisciplinary approaches to address ecological degradation and conservation policy gaps.
