Food Webs
We explore the structure, complexity and dynamics of food webs. We use optimal foraging theory to define the rules linking predators and prey. We predict the impacts of multiple simultaneous threats to ecosystems. This is network biology.
Predation and Plasticity
We study the ecology and evolution of phenotypic plasticity focusing on anti-predator phenotypes, their local adaptation, and the underlying physiological trade-offs in a range of freshwater predator-prey systems inlcuding daphnia and rotifers.
Parrot Conservation Modelling
We study the conservation and demography of parrots in Central America and the Caribbean. We link this to socioeconomics and trade-offs in conservation management. We study trade networks. We build models.
