David Thomson博士自本學期開始在香港大學任教，他的研究題目是關於野生動物種群對環境轉變的反應與適應。
Thomson 博士投身於生態學研究是始於觀鳥，他也喜歡與其他熱愛研究大自然的人一起交流溝通。Thomson博士對氣候轉變特別有興趣，於是與一群觀鳥者共同研究氣候對雀鳥種群的長期影響。他在蘇格蘭亞伯丁大學獲得動物學/動物生態學學士學位，並在英國格拉斯哥大學的鳥類學院取得博士學位。他曾在British Trust for Ornithology擔任計量生態學家，然後在荷蘭皇家科學院荷蘭生態學院進行研究工作，其後在Max Planck Institute 的演化生物族群學研究實進行生物族群研究。

This year, Dr. David Thomson took up an associate professorship at HKU at the beginning of this semester. His research aim here is to understand how wildlife populations respond and adapt to environmental change.
Dr. Thomson was first got into ecology through an interest in bird-watching and he likes to interact with others who enjoy studying the natural world. He is particularly interested in climate change and has worked with networks of birdwatchers to study its long-term effects on bird populations. He did a degree in zoology/ animal ecology, at Aberdeen University, then a PhD in the ornithology unit at the University of Glasgow. He then worked as a quantitative ecologist at the British Trust for Ornithology, before taking up a research fellowship at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. After that, he went on to run the Laboratory of Evolutionary Biodemography at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research.
