A wildlife ecologist Scott's research interest is in population ecology and wildlife management, particularly of game and hunted species. Scott's research aims to understand how natural and anthropogenic factors interact to drive wildlife population dynamics and how wildlife populations can be sustainably managed.

Current research interests 

Using mountain hares in the Scottish uplands as a model system current work combines large scale, replicated field experiments with cross-sectional and modelling studies to investigate the role of natural factors - such as parasites and food availability, management - such as harvesting and culling, and habitat fragmentation on mountain hare population dynamics - see the mountain hare web pages for more information.

Scott is the regional co-ordinator for the EU Northern Periphery Programme funded North Hunt: Development of sustainable hunting tourism in northern Europe project.

Other projects include:

Scott is an Associate Editor for the journal Wildlife Biology, and an Associate Member of the Aberdeen Centre for Environmental Sustainability.
