Biography
School: School of Biological Sciences
Pronouns: she/her
Name pronunciation: Anna Mile
Project: Bridging invasive species with evolutionary theory: unleashing the potential of species traits to predict the impacts of biological invasions
Supervisors: Daniel Pincheira-Donoso, Ross Cuthbert & Thomas Bodey
Undergraduate Education: BSc Ecology & Wildlife Conservation, Bournemouth University
Postgraduate Education: MSc Conservation Biology & Ecological Management, Queen’s University Belfast
Research: My PhD will aim to investigate the emergence of broad-scale economic impacts caused by biological invasions. More specifically, I will develop a novel framework to predict the likelihood and magnitude of economic impacts from species traits (acquired pre-and post-invasion) of invasive species. Additionally, I aim to compare the evaluated economic impacts of biological invasions with their ecological impacts. This research will inform and enable proactive ecological management and targeted actions to mitigate biological invasions’ economic and social damages as well as environmental damages. The disciplines included in this PhD are evolutionary biology, invasion biology, environmental economics and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
