Freddie Mckendrick
My research interests generally focus on how organisms adapt their behaviour in response to environmental change. I am particularly interested in how individuals within a population may differ in their response to change, as well as the potential consequences for this variation on other trophic levels.
​
My PhD work focusses on understanding the physiological costs of behavioural plasticity in response to climate change. My research will focus on two polar seabird species, black-legged kittiwakes and snow petrels, using behavioural data collected with GPS loggers alongside different physiological measures (telomeres, oxidative stress) and incorporate multivariate mixed-models to disseminate within- and between-individual effects.
