Abstract:	Katie Dunkley is the Charles Darwin and Galápagos Islands Fellow at Christ’s College. She is a behavioural ecologist who aims to understand the dynamics of animal interactions and ecological networks. Her research focuses on behavioural interactions at a community level to explore how and why animals interact. She is particularly interested in understanding how changing ecological, environmental, and social conditions influence interaction outcomes. She is passionate about the marine environment and its conservation, with her previous and future research focusing on coral reefs. She is using the latest methods in machine learning to construct a reef-based ecological network that will render a conservation tool to study the structure and resilience of coral reef ecosystems. Following in Darwin’s footsteps, her work focuses on the interactions that occur on the Galápagos, in partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galápagos Conservation Trust.
