研究领域

My research is concerned with understanding the structure and function of communities and ecosystems, and the interactions humans have with them. This research includes fundamental questions about biodiversity and how it is maintained such as: What determines how food webs function? How is local diversity affected by environmental factors such as habitat structure and energy input? What are the assembly rules which determine community development? How is local community structure affected by dispersal between communities? ... and more "applied" questions to do with the ways in humans affect, and are affected by, the environments in which we live and the ecosystem processes upon which we depend. For example: How can we enhance the biodiversity of urban systems, and what are the benefits to doing so? Can provision of more, diverse, or specific types of, greenspace in urban areas enhance human wellbeing and increase environmental sustainability? How can we most effectively maintain, or increase, wetland habitats in agricultural and urban areas to support biodiversity and provide better ecosystem services? These questions are all are broadly concerned with how, and if, we can make a more sustainable future for humans, and the remarkable ecosystems of which we are part and upon which we depend. As with most of the major environmental challenges we face, tackling such questions does not just involve ecology, but requires interdisciplinary collaboration with disciplines such as engineering, social science, economics, planning and psychology.
