Personal profile

Research interests

Claire Elizabeth Tanner is a Lecturer in Conservation Biology at the University of Bath. 

Her research topic is generalised as animal behaviour. Specifically, this has involved parental care (survival and parental care division in shorebirds), human wildlife conflict (depredation in fishing nets by seals and compensation of farmers from predation events), and human perceptions of animals (fishers' perceptions of seals and public perception of invasive species). 

Claire gained her PhD from the University of Bath, researching parental care in shorebirds, and previously studied at the Department of Biosciences, University of Exeter, researching the effects of climate change on sea turtle hatchling sex ratios.
