My听research combines genetics and genomics with ecological analyses and experiments to study adaptation and speciation. I鈥檓 interested in how organisms adapt to their environment, the influence this can have on the evolution of reproductive isolation and the extent to which this can be a predictable and repeatable process. I鈥檓 particularly keen on the evolution and conservation of听island plants, but it鈥檚 not unheard of for me to dabble with animals too听(mainly fish).

Module Organiser

  • BSX-3139: Molecular Ecology and Evolution

Module Contributor

  • BSX-3150: Life in a Changing Climate
  • BSX-2019: Principals of Life 2
  • BNS-1004: Principals of Life 1
  • BNS-1002: Organismal Diversity
I welcome enquiries from prospective PhD students with, or attempting to obtain, funding. I have a range of potential projects in evolutionary biology, particularly studying the genetics of adaptation and speciation.
