研究领域

I am interested in the responses of biodiversity to climate change and habitat fragmentation. I focus on the distributions and dynamics of butterflies at their geographic range margins, as model systems for species persistence in the face of environmental change. I take an integrated, multi-scale approach, from fine-scale studies of behaviour (dispersal, phenology, habitat use) to landscape-scale research into metapopulation dynamics (colonization and extinction) and large-scale patterns and processes of distribution change.
