Current Research
My general interests are spatial and behavioural ecology, however I am particularly interested in the use of multiple technologies (e.g. spatial, genetic, isotopic and others) and multiple statistical analyses to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the movement and behaviour of marine and terrestrial animals. Ecosystems around the world are under threat from anthropogenic and environmental factors and many studies often focus on a single species and/or threat without considering interactions between species or cumulative impacts over time and interaction between threats. For example, the analysis of coastal fisheries impacts on a species without including land-based pollution impacts. This is something I am very interested in and I plan to extend my research to investigate movement and interaction of multiple species under various scenarios to include the cumulative impact of anthropogenic and environmental threats by using various tracking technologies and statistical analyses techniques. Quantitative understanding of the cumulative impact of anthropogenic and environmental threats on ecosystem are essential if a shift towards more comprehensive management and, in particular, ecosystem-based management approaches are to be achieved.
