Biography

ORCID ID: 0000-0001-7262-1402

Tom Morrison has broad interests in conservation, population biology and animal behaviour. He has research projects in Tanzania, Scotland and the US that examine the consequences of herbviore movement, particularly migratory movements, on disease and species interactions, often relying on GPS telemetry and direct field observations. He leads field projects in Tanzania and works closely with a network of collaborators and students to address questions that improve outcomes for biodiversity.

He completed his PhD at Dartmouth College in 2011, where he studied the impacts of land fragmentation on migratory wildebeest in Northern Tanzania. An important product from his PhD was a computer platform for identifying individual animals from pictures (called ‘Wild-ID’), which has since been successfully applied to a wide range of other species, including giraffe, carvst-dwelling salamanders and toads. As a post-doc at the University of Wyoming in the Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Tom worked with state wildlife biologists to develop population models of elk, deer and pronghorn. Between 2012 and 2014, he was based in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, studying savanna tree demography, herbivory and fire with Michael Anderson and Rico Holdo. He joined the University of Glasgow in 2016 to work with Grant Hopcraft on a long-term study of wildebeest movement ecology in Serengeti. More recently he has begun work on the impacts of parasites and pathogens on animal movement, and am keenly interested in questions about trade-offs between conservation and development in lower-income settings. 

Research interests

My main areas of research include:

  • Why, where and how animals migrate
  • Links between animal movement and disease
  • Impacts of human activities on animal behaviour and physiology
