In this episode, Taya Forde and Paddy McCleave are joined by Thierry Boulinier, a director of research at CNRS Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive at the Université Montpellier. Thierry’s research focuses on the dispersal and dynamics of seabirds and their parasites, where he works with a range of collaborators, such as the French Polar Institute and, more recently, researchers here at The University of Glasgow. Here we talk about a range of topics, including the removal of invasive species, vaccination against avian cholera, and some of the challenges of working in remote areas.
