Regular biography
Catharine Horswill is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Zoology. Her research focuses on marine ecology, conservation biology, population dynamics, marine predators, and sustainable ocean management. She combines advanced quantitative methods with applied conservation science to understand how environmental change and human activity shape ocean ecosystems and to inform decisions that protect marine biodiversity. Her work includes data-limited modelling, Bayesian hierarchical modelling, integrated population models, and capture-mark-recapture analysis.
Scholar-generated biography
Catharine Horswill is a researcher at the University of Cambridge focusing on Population Dynamics, Demography, and Marine predators. Her work explores the ecological and demographic factors influencing marine predator populations, including survival rates, density dependence, and the impact of environmental variability. She investigates how factors such as predation pressure, prey availability, and climate change affect population dynamics. Her research also addresses the challenges of data collection and analysis in conservation biology, particularly for long-lived seabirds and marine species. Horswill's studies often combine field observations with statistical modeling to assess population trends and inform conservation strategies.
