Dr Sam Booth is a Lecturer in Zoology in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of Chester, with a focus on cross taxa ecology and animal behaviour in anthropogenic habitats. With a background in agricultural soil ecology, much of Sam's research and teaching now focuses on urban ecology and the impacts of human management within these spaces, as well as dimensions of human-wildlife co-existence. In both research and in the classroom, he combines different research methods, including; GIS, bioacoustics, camera traps, non-destructive imaging, soil derived proxies and reconstruction, and social science approaches.
