Dr Jenny Sneddon is a Senior Lecturer at LJMU. She has been working with the rest of the LJMU team in monitoring the responses of ground animals to the utilisation of Agrilaser. In particular, here presented, two experiments that involved the observations of rabbits and squirrels in two of the UK trials. After the installation of the Agrilaser changes in the rabbit and squirrels behaviours were monitored with CCTV or trap cameras.

And a very well attended technical seminar on innovation in agriculture where we shared @LIFEprogramme #laserfence with staff, Ph.Ds and agronomy master students. Thank you @ETSIASevilla for hosting! pic.twitter.com/Mc0kYdDWII

LJMU’s collaboration with Craig Shuttleworth (Bangor University) of the Life project ScuriousLIFE (Sciuriosity – Evolving IAS grey squirrel management techniques in the UK, LIFE14 NAT/UK/000467) continues.
The first phase of grey squirrel trials at Welsh Mountain Zoo are now complete and the team are focusing on other test sites, but the collaboration and useful discussions with Craig continue. The team have appreciated Craig’s expertise supporting the data analysis being carried out at LJMU.
LJMU have been invited to a dissemination event along with ScuriousLIFE in March 2019.
