研究领域

Our research interests focus on the effects of habitat degradation and climate change on biodiversity (with particular emphasis on temperate and tropical insects). We are studying climate-driven range shifts of species at their leading-edge and trailing-edge range boundaries, and the factors affecting species’ ability to respond to climate and habitat changes. We are doing this via the analysis of historical records, collecting new field data, and the development of theoretical models. We are exploring potential methods for promoting adaptation of biodiversity to climate warming, for example by examining whether improving habitat connectivity will aid species’ range shifts, and the role of Protected Areas. We are also investigating methods for conserving biodiversity in tropical habitats, including logged forests and oil palm plantations.
