Rachel Grant

Rachel is a zoologist with an interest in animal behaviour, especially that of amphibians and birds. She has been fascinated by the natural world since childhood, and read degrees in biology and animal behaviour before completing a PhD looking at how amphibians respond to environmental changes. Rachel has been working on the effects of the geophysical environment on animal behaviour for many years, documenting changes in animal behaviour with moon phases, magnetic field fluctuations and changes occuring before earthquakes. Rachel worked at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge before joining Hartpury University Centre and Graduate School as a Principal Lecturer.
