Leverhulme studentship for Luke McClean

Apr 15, 2016

Luke McClean has been awarded a two-year Leverhulme Study Abroad Studentship to carry out MSc research on coevolutionary interactions between lesser honeyguides and their hosts in Zambia, based at the FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology at the University of Cape Town. Luke is a graduate of Queens University, Belfast, and has spent the last two field seasons ably assisting with our work in Zambia. We’re delighted that he’ll be back. Congratulations Luke, and thank you to The Leverhulme Trust for their wonderful support once again. Grants from The Leverhulme Trust also support Gabriel Jamie‘s and Nicholas Horrocks‘s research in Zambia. Thank you!
