Freddie Mckendrick
I am currently based at NIOZ in the Netherlands working as a postdoctoral research scientist. I am primarily interested in how and why individuals differ in their behavioural responses to environmental change with a particular focus on movement ecology.
Current research
As of the start of December 2025 I have started a 3-year position with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Ocean research exploring the spatio-temporal variability in top-down and bottom-up relationships between predators and their prey. This project will focus specifically on the population ecology of red knots (the predators) and a suite of invertebrate species (e.g cockles and baltic clams: the prey). We will utilise the WATLAS (https://maps.nioz.nl/watlas/) and SIBES project to understand how population dynamics between predator and prey may vary spatially across the Wadden Sea and to decipher what metrics are important to understand population changes across species.
