Episode 13 - Master Thesis #2
We’re finally back with a new episode of Wild Research Bites! This time it’s two new students who present their thesis topics for us. They will share their experiences about the master program and doing a 60 credit thesis at the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental Studies at SLU in Umeå. Amber is a Belgian student and currently developing a set of genetic markers to infer relatedness in spotted hyena populations. This can be used to study population structure, genetic health, mating patterns, dispersal, etc. Exiting things! Jaime is investigating diversity patterns and functional diversity of wild bee communities between conventionally managed production forests and the so-called “Eco parks”, where production forests and restoration and protection measures are combined. Both Amber and Jaime tell us about their experience in the field, what they enjoy about doing their thesis and what they like about living in Sweden. Sit down and enjoy this casual conversation! And please send us your questions on our email: wildpodcast@slu.se 📷 Cover photo by Jaime Ramón Luna Santa-María

Episode 12 - Conservation and Tourism

Phoebe and Lawrence tell us about their lives in the bush, and share some of their most exciting experiences from their work. In this episode, you can hear how Phoebe and Lawrence got into conservation in the first place, and how they ended up guiding tourists in some of the most beautiful places in the world. They share their experiences in conservation education and discuss their ideas about the importance of tourism in conservation.

Episode 11 - Master Thesis
In this episode of Wild Research Bites Emelie interview two students writing their master thesis project at the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental studies at SLU in Umeå. Michelle Etienne is a German student that did her previous studies at Stockholm University and is currently doing a 60 credit thesis about Golden eagle movements in relation to linear infrastructure such as roads. She is studying if these structures form ecological traps for the eagles and how this is affecting the population. She is interested in movement ecology and aspires to continue with a Ph.D. in the future. Raul Lira Rodriguez came all the way from Chile to Umeå to study the master program in Management of Fish and Wildlife populations and writing his thesis linking plant community composition, abiotic factors to competition and management of livestock and wildlife such as Ibex and Snow leopard in Kyrgyzstan. I ask them about their general experience of doing a master thesis so far, what has been the hardest part and the easiest part. Another important aspect of enjoying your work is the setting. What do they think of Umeå as a city to study in? Do the possibilities of seeing the auroras in winter outweigh the huge amounts of mosquitoes during summer? Listen to find out more about their topics, their experiences and their best advice for someone starting their thesis! Thanks again to Michelle and Raul for joining this episode. The plan is to follow this up with more episodes of students sharing their experience with doing a master thesis. Let us know if you think this would be of value to you and if you would like to be featured in a future episode!
