I recently recorded a sound map of the River Kelvin. At 11 different points along a section of the river, I recorded the sound for 15 seconds. The direction of the sound map follows from Kelvinbridge Underground in the direction of Glasgow’s Botanical Gardens.
I graduated with a BSc in Zoology from the University of Glasgow in June 2013. As part of this degree, I carried out a behavioural study on Verreaux’s sifaka (pictured), a folivorous arboreal lemur which is endemic to Madagascar and classified as vulnerable. The study was carried out between June-July 2012 in the dry season.
The title of my research project was “The Effect of a Disturbed Habitat on the Activity Budgets, Habitat and Feeding Preferences, and Home Range Size of Verreaux’s Sifaka”. In order to carry out this work I used scan and focal sampling, PCQ sampling, vegetation sampling and GPS marking. I analysed my data using Minitab and Primer.
I am now working on using the data collected and the results acquired to produce a scientific paper.
