Dr Kimberley Hockings

Ecology and Conservation

The main objective of Kim's research is to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that enable human-wildlife coexistence. She has a particular interest in the drivers of resource competition, disease transmission, and aggressive interactions between human and nonhuman great apes in shared landscapes. My team and I are also developing more robust approaches to surveying wildlife in heterogeneous human-impacted landscapes, and ways to manage the large datasets generated using remote technology.
