Research Interests

My research interests centre around applying ecological principles to address current management and conservation challenges. I am currently working on using spatial data to understand the composition and structure of agricultural landscapes in the UK, contributing to wider research into the quantification and forecasting of agricultural ecosystem service provision. 

I have previously worked on research projects on disease ecology, species habitat preference, dietary ecology, population analysis and woodland ecology. Within this work I have employed a variety of techniques from the management and analysis of large citizen science and spatial datasets, to stable isotope ecology.
