The Kathryn Fuller Science for Nature Fund
Current Fellows
Dr. Trond Larsen completed his PhD at Princeton University and then worked with the non-profit Friends of the Osa to conserve terrestrial and marine biodiversity of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. As a Fuller Fellow, Dr. Larsen will work with WWF and Princeton University to develop science-based conservation strategies in the Andes-Amazon region using ecologically important dung beetles as a model system. He will determine the protected area needs of invertebrates based on how broadly they are distributed, information which does not exist for most taxa. He will also investigate the impacts of changing land-use and illegal hunting associated with the developing interoceanic highway in Peru, and will assess the vulnerability of species to climate change along Andean elevational gradients.
