Dr Svenja Tidau

Hello and welcome to my research website!

 

I am Lecturer in Wildlife Ecology at the School of Environmental and Natural Sciences at Bangor University (since October 2023), located in beautiful Northwest Wales (UK) – where the land and mountains meet the sea!

​

I am an experimental global change biologist interested in how anthropogenic pollutants like artificial light at night (ALAN) and anthropogenic noise affect animals in their behaviour, physiology, development, and chronobiology. By taking a sensory ecology approach, I seek to advance our understanding of the underlying basic biology such as night-time ecology and chronobiology while identifying scope for mitigation and wildlife conservation. I am interested in how managing environmental pollution can help to build resilience to climate change.

​

My research is interdisciplinary and I collaborate with molecular biologists, optical oceanographers, socio-economist and colleagues outside of academia and research (NGOs, conservation practitioners such as national park authorities and resources managers).
