Profile

Kalpapran is a PhD student in Dr Erin Buchholtz's lab (Buchholtz Lab). For his PhD project, Kalpapran is studying critically endangered red wolves' movement ecology, space use and connectivity. Kalpapran completed his MRes (Master of Research) degree from Nottingham Trent University where he studied African leopard population ecology and constructed a predictive model to estimate their population on a continental scale. Following this project, Kalpapran along with his mentor Dr Julien Fattebert, is currently also working on developing an individual based model that explicitly accounts for leopard demography and movement to assess and predict functional connectivity between leopard habitats across sub-Saharan Africa.

Research Interests

Animal movement, ecological conservation, predator ecology, carnivore ecology, predator-prey dynamics, quantitative ecology, resource selection, population distribution, re-wildling.
