Research Interest
How do populations of organisms change in space and time? I am interested in modelling the patterns and mechanisms that characterise spatial and population ecology. Much of my work has focused on building theory by translating biological hypotheses to mathematical models, using modern inference to fit these models to population, demographic, behavioural and physiological data, and applying the conclusions to wildlife conservation, natural resource management and risk assessment.
