James Chatfield (He/ Him)

I am a first year PhD student researching the variation in life history of green turtles which nest in North Cyprus. I previously completed my MSci degree at the University of Exeter's Penryn campus, where I studied the importance of individual differences in the behaviour of two species: for my undergraduate thesis I explored the role of personality variation in a model decapod crustacean, and for my Master's thesis I explored the development of indivdual movement and foraging strategies in recently weaned grey seals. I am hoping to take the skills I learnt here further as I explore the individual variation in the life histories of green turtles.

For my PhD I am being supervised by Professor Annette Broderick Profile | University of Exeter, Dr Erik Postma Profile | University of Exeter, and Dr Xavier Harrison Profile | University of Exeter, in collaboration with the North Cyprus Society for the Protection of Turtles' (SPOT) Marine Turtle Conservation Project.
