Anna has always been interested in the natural world, but her passion for arachnology developed after she started studying Animal Management in 2018. Since then, she has completed her Biodiversity and Conservation BSc (Hons) with her dissertation focusing on spider communities in different habitats in the Peruvian rainforest and her MRes, which focused on the conservation genetics of the Fen Raft Spider (Dolomedes plantarius). She will continue studying the Fen Raft Spider during her PhD and hopes to continue integrating ecology and molecular techniques to aid the conservation of other endangered arachnid species in the future.
