Christina Buesching

Christina has a M.Sc. from the German Primate Center, Göttingen, on the reproductive physiology and behaviour of the female lesser mouse lemur and a D.Phil. from Oxford University investigating mammalian sociality and communication in badgers. Christina works on a wide variety of mammals ranging from Australian marsupials to giant pandas, Madagascan prosimians and European carnivores and rodents, involving numerous collaborators across the globe. Her main research focus is olfactory communication and how mammalian semio-chemistry is affected by physiology and disease. Nevertheless, she is also interested in the socio-political factors affecting our ability to devise and implement effective conservation management strategies. Since 2020, she is an Adjunct Professor with the University of British Columbia and operates her own scientific manuscript editing service, NovaScript.
