个人简介

I am an ecologist with a particular interest in the processes that determine the structure and dynamics of networks of interacting species (food webs). By gaining a mechanistic understanding of these complex ecological systems I hope to be able to make predictions on how they, and the services they provide, will respond to environmental change. I am a member of the Ecology and Conservation research group and the Climate Change and Sustainable Futures research theme.

研究领域

The core of my research is in community ecology with a particular focus on gaining a mechanistic understanding of the processes that structure networks of interacting species in ecological communities (food webs) and to predict how these systems may respond to environmental change.
