Research Interest
The conceptual framework of my research is evolutionary ecology and how it applies, in particular, to parasite-host-stress interactions and to intra-specific variation in ecology and behaviour. My research with my students and collaborators has included the following: evaluating measures of environmental stress for animals; evaluating effects of stress and parasitism on individuals & populations; exploring dynamics of insect-parasite interactions; understanding the evolution of polymorphism in insect populations; studying the ecology of a key prey species in an inter-tidal ecosystem and general studies in wildlife conservation.
