Freddie Mckendrick

I am a PhD student with the Avian Ecology Group at the University of Liverpool. 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
I am currently undertaking a PhD at the University of Liverpool finishing in the summer of 2025. This PhD is funded through NERC via the ACCE-DTP in collaboration with the Norwegian Polar Institute. My work uses a combination of behavioural and physiological techniques to explore individual variation in foraging behaviour of black-legged kittiwakes in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. I am particularly interested in the utilisation of statistical models to uncover the evolutionary importance of variable phenotypes across different environments from plasticity to predictability.
