I am Associate Professor of Animal Biology in the School of Biology at the University of Leeds. My research interests cover the range of biological organisation from molecular genetics through to macroecology. Particular projects at present focus on urban aquatic biodiversity, the evolution of mimicry, global change biology, radar aeroecology and the relationship between people and nature. My work involves collaborations across the University of Leeds, where I am based in the Sustainable Ecosystems and Adaptation Research Pillar. I maintain collaborations with the Institute of Psychological Sciences, where I work with psychologists to use humans as model systems to investigate evolutionary questions. I am currently Co-Director of the Leverhulme Extinction Studies DTP at the University of Leeds and help to lead the Aeroecology Research Group. You can also find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google Scholar. Below is some further information on the rest of the lab (who do most of the work and make me look good!).
