My research focuses on animal behaviour and conservation taking a multidisciplinary approach to combine genetics, animal movement and the application of social networks.
Previously my research focused on a small passerine recovery programme in Mauritius that examined the competition between the then Critically Endangered Mauritius Fody and the introduced Madagascar Fody. Following this I perused a career in field-based conservation research, where I was the coordinator of the Mauritius Fody recovery programme for the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation. During this time the species was downlisted to Endangered following a successful translocation project. I have also undertaken research in New Zealand, working as a Biodiversity Ranger for the Government Department of Conservation (DOC) where I worked on the Critically Endangered Orange-fronted Parakeet and Kakapo. I then went on to work in UK environmental consultancy specializing in ecosystem services and cost-benefit analysis that aim to account for our natural resources in sustainable development and decision making.
My PhD research, undertaken at the University of Birmingham through NERC CENTA doctoral training partnership, focused on a colonial seabird that breeds on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. This work aimed to understand the ecology and population trends of the sooty tern, a small seabird that breeds in huge numbers on the island. Primarily this ongoing work focuses on the application of different tools to understand behaviour and survival strategies. I am investigating chick social connectivity during the precocial development stage, and whether this impacts daily survival rates. I have also undertaken genetic analyses to assess levels of population genetic structure and relatedness within the population.
I am module lead for Behavioural and Evolutionary Ecology and Biodiversity. I also contribute to teaching on the following modules:
In addition I also supervise UG and PG student dissertations on a range of topics related to animal behaviour, conservation and ecology.
I also run assist on practical field courses and sampling and surveying techniques.
