Research interests

My research focuses on modelling population and community dynamics. I am particularly interested in large scale population dynamics, although have a range of interests, including:

  • Evolutionary ecology, phylogenetic comparative methodology and its application to ecological problems.
  • Theoretical ecology, statistical methodology.

Teaching activities

At Level 1 I lecture for  (Evolution) and at Level 3 I lecture for  (Evolutionary Ecology).

At level 3 I teach on a 10-day residential course in Borneo ( - Tropical Biology Rain Forest Field Course) and I supervise Projects () on herbivore-plant interactions, spatial ecology and plant population dynamics, usually field-based.

I have supervised Level 4 Research Projects () on conservation, macroecology and evolution.
