Ecology and Conservation

About me:

I am an ecologist with a range of interests mainly related to migration and foraging ecology of vertebrates (particularly birds) and the application of stable isotope techniques in animal ecology. I am a member of the Ecology and Conservation research group.

 

I am the Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Global Engagement for the The Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy.


Interests:

My research focuses on spatial and trophic ecology of animals, with a particular interest in the causes and consequences of intra-population variation in movement and foraging behaviours. I also work on applications of stable isotope techniques. My research group works at field sites all over the world: UK, Ireland, Iceland, Iberia, Canadian Arctic, North Atlantic, west Africa, Kenya, Hong Kong, China
