Scott is an applied ecologist with a strong interest in population ecology and management of wildlife populations. Combining large scale replicated field experiments, cross-sectional and modelling studies Scott’s research aims to understand how natural and anthropogenic factors effect population and community dynamics, and how wildlife populations can be sustainably managed. His current research interests are focused on understanding how management of the uplands affects biodiversity, the effects of land use and climate change on species distributions, wildlife population assessment, and development of novel monitoring tools using emerging digital technologies.
Scott is a Subject Editor for the journal Wildlife Biology [2], a member of Scotland's Morrland Forum, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's Scientific Committee for Wildlife Research.
