Some great images here of Wildlife Ecology Lab PhD student, Elizabeth Overton, who is studying the cheetah population in Tswalu Kalahari Reserve
Elizabeth's study uses camera traps ๐ธ, DNA metabarcoding ๐งฌ, movement data and direct observations to understand cheetah ecology & predator-prey dynamics
It was great working with Insect Survey @Rothamsted opening up the potential of this amazing long-term insect monitoring resource using metabarcoding. Thanks to IAFRI funding Fera Sciences at Newcastle
