Teaching interests

Teaching is an integral part of my wider academic interests and is linked to my research activities. At Plymouth I have taught in, among other undergraduate modules, Animal and Plant identification Skills,  Principles of Conservation Biology, Issues in Conservation Biology, Applied Conservation Biology, Conservation in Practice, Ecology Fieldcourse, Methods in Demography, and Population Ecology and Conservation. At postgraduate level, I have taught the Ecology Fieldcourse, Techniques in Botanical Conservation, Plant Taxonomy and Identification, and the statistics section of Postgraduate Research Skills and Methods. Undergraduate modules have been embedded in the programmes (BSc Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare, Biological Sciences, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Environmental Biology, Marine Biology, Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology, Plant Sciences, and Wildlife Conservation. Postgraduate modules have been imparted in programmes (MSc/MRes) Biological Diversity, Botanical Conservation, Marine Biology, Sustainable Aquaculture, and Zoo Conservation Biology.

Research interests

I am interested in the study of the factors that determine variation in the dynamics of populations (1-6) and how this variation underpins the evolution of the wide diversity of life histories found in nature (7-10) and the evolution of senescence (11-13). Because demography deals with the currencies of survival, growth and reproduction as measures of ecological success, my interest in the study of population dynamics extends into the use of demographic tools to conserve and manage threatened species (14-18). I am also interested in understanding the mechanisms through which plants compete (19) and coexist (20-21) and how resource limitation and differential resource allocation generates particular patterns of the relationship between population mass and population density (22).
