Anna Willoughby studies how wildlife behavior, disease, and communities change across various anthropogenic gradients. She approaches these questions through complementary modeling and field methods, with a view towards translating her research into conservation and wildlife management policy. In the past, she has looked at dynamics of macroparasites in South African baboons, virus diversity among cave-roosting bats. Willoughby is a PhD student in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia, working under the direction of Dr. Sonia Altizer and Dr. John Drake.
