Rate My Professor Nicholas Daudt

Nicholas Winterle Daudt is a researcher in the Department of Marine Science at the University of Otago. He completed a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago with a thesis titled Spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of seabird assemblages in Australasia. His work focuses on biological oceanography, quantitative ecology, community ecology and marine megafauna, with particular emphasis on seabird distribution patterns and assemblages in regions including the Subtropical Frontal Zone and areas off New Zealand and Australia.

Daudt has authored or co-authored peer-reviewed publications including Changing species occurrences in seasonal seabird assemblages at the Subtropical Frontal Zone (2025), Seabird assemblages are linked to the major western boundary current off eastern Australia, Migratory species strongly affect seabird biomass in seasonal assemblages off northeast Aotearoa/New Zealand (2026), and Ten simple rules for organising an effective student-led writing retreat (2026). He has also contributed to research on plastics and waterbirds in Brazil. His professional email address at the University of Otago is listed in association with postgrad.otago.ac.nz.
