Overview
I am a quantitative ecologist, with key interests in demography, life history evolution, conservation, wildlife disease, and the interplay between ecological and evolutionary dynamics. I model the dynamics of structured populations, with a specific interest in how populations respond to disturbances. I use global databases of life history, extinction risk and invasiveness to try to predict the endangered and invasive species of the future. I use state of the art statistical analyses to detect signal among noise in complex ecological datasets.
I am a member of the Ecology and Conservation research group in the Centre for Ecology and Conservation.
For Departmental/Head of Department issues and meeting requests, please contact me on HoD-CEC-Cornwall@exeter.ac.uk because this mailbox is monitored daily. I have a difficult relationship with my diary and calendar, my PA Vanessa Leatherdale assists me with this.

Research
Research interests
1. A predictive framework for ecological demography.
If we are to predict the impacts of climate change, invasive species and ecological management strategies on natural systems, we need mathematical tools that can cope with 3 critical problems: uncertainty, data quality, and complexity. In collaboration with Stuart Townley, I am engaged in the translation and development of tools that describe the robustness of empirical ecological models. I have developed Daphnia as a model system to study the impacts of ecological disturbances and perturbations on population dynamics. I am also involved in the production of global databases of plant (COMPADRE) and animal (COMADRE) demographic models. This work has relevance to conservation strategies, invasion dynamics, and evolutionary fitness.
2. Maintenance of diversity in natural systems.
Everywhere we look, we are surrounded by spectacular biodiversity. How is this diversity maintained in the face of competition and natural selection? I study mechanisms that help promote and maintain biodiversity, in diverse systems including baculoviruses, wild Brassicas, aphid parasitoids, Daphnia, farmland mammals and insects, and bacterial microcosms. Recent collaboration with Angus Buckling has developed the Pseudomonas model system for the study of relationships between diversity, parasitism and ecosystem functioning.
3. Sex and parasites.
I have an enduring fascination with the evolution of sexual diversity and the virulence of parasites. This has lead to various collaborations and the study of male investment in ejaculates, sexual dimorphism in lizards, host-parasite coevolution, facultative parthenogenesis and promiscuity. I am currently engaged in the statistical modelling of bovine tuberculosis in badger populations.
4. Statistical methods for modern ecology.
I work with ecologists and evolutionary biologists to ensure the use of correct and elegant statistical analyses in empirical research.
