Biography of Dr Tom Doyle
Dr Tom Doyle is a Research Fellow at the Coastal & Marine Research Centre (CMRC), and a part-time lecturer in the School of Biological, Earth, and Environmental Science (BEES), UCC. Tom is a marine biologist with expertise in gelatinous zooplankton (jellyfish) ecology, foraging ecology of leatherback sea turtles and animal biotelemetry (satellite tracking). He is author of 36 scientific publications and has a h-index of 13 (Web of Science). He is internationally recognised in the field of gelatinous zooplankton, with expertise in the broadscale distribution and abundance of key gelatinous groups (inc. scyphomedusae, hydromedusae, siphonophores and ctenophores), sampling techniques for monitoring gelatinous zooplankton (inc. plankton hauls, MIK net, fisheries by-catch data and visual surveys), diet and trophic interactions of scyphomedusae and socio-economic impacts of jellyfish (e.g. especially aquaculture interactions). He has deployed satellite tags, data loggers and acoustic tracking devices on various species (jellyfish, sunfish, blue sharks and leatherback turtles) to determine animal movements and dive behaviour.
