Biography
My research interests are the impacts of environmental change on wetland and upland ecosystems, focusing on behavior, physiology and population dynamics. I am particularly interested in the trophic relationships between insectivores and their invertebrate prey. I have a working interest in data analysis and statistics, using ecological models to address applied issues in industry, wildlife management and conservation.
