animals best phd thesis

Connie Allen

Huge congratulations to Dr Connie Allen for winning the Journal, Animals  2022 Best PhD Thesis Award. Her thesis “Importance of older males: influence of age structure on social dynamics between males in an elephant bull area” was conducted at the University of Exeter, based on 3 years field work with us in the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

We are of course incredibly proud of her achievement and for the great work she has done on male elephants, increasing our knowledge of their social needs.
