Research and career
Magurran completed her PhD at the University of Ulster on the biological diversity of native woodlands in Ireland.[8] She then went on to complete postdoctoral work at Bangor University and the University of Oxford. Throughout her career she has used fish communities to study biodiversity, the evolution of biodiversity, and on the role of predation in the evolution of social behaviour. She is now a professor at the University of St Andrews, where she is the university's most cited female scientist.[9] Globally, she is the second most cited female ecologist [10] and evolutionary biologist.[11] She is an international counselor and advisor on issues of conservation related to biodiversity and engaged in the UN Convention on Biological Diversity[12] and in the World Economic Forum in 2018.[2][13]
