About

Emily Shepard is a Lecturer at Swansea University, UK. Her research focuses on avian biomechanics, seabird ecology, and the effects of environmental factors on bird performance. Recent publications include studies on motion-induced sound camouflage, turbulence effects on flapping flight, and the impact of harness design on flight performance in soaring species.
