Charlotte Causton

Project Coordinator of Invasive Invertebrates

Charlotte has worked with the CDRS in different projects since 1997, including terrestrial invertebrate research programs.

She is currently coordinating an international effort to control the population of the invasive Philornis downsi fly, which is threatening many endemic bird species in the Galapagos.
