Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Catherine Price. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Catherine Price is an ARC Discovery Early Career Fellow and Lecturer at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on understanding how sensory information influences animal decision-making, particularly in terms of foraging behavior among mammalian predators. Dr. Price employs various methodologies, including large-scale field experiments, to examine the impact of multimodal sensory cues—such as odours and sounds—on predator-prey interactions. She investigates strategies to develop pest management tools to protect threatened species by manipulating sensory misinformation. With a deep background in ecology, she completed her PhD at the University of New South Wales and has since held several postdoctoral positions. Catherine has collaborated extensively both within Australia and internationally, especially with Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research in New Zealand. Her research aligns with several critical areas in conservation biology and wildlife management, focusing on biodiversity conservation and the intricate roles of sensory ecology in animal behavior.
