About Jon
Research interests:
I am interested in molecular ecology, evolution, genetics of natural populations and the conservation of biodiversity. I am especially interested in insects and fungi, but work on a range of biological systems.
Teaching
Teaching interests
- conservation biology and conservation genetics
- molecular ecology
- evolution & biodiversity
- entomology
I teach on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in biological and environmental sciences. This includes residential field courses in the UK and abroad, practical classes, tutorials and lectures as well as supervising undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.
I am also the Academic Wellbeing Lead in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences. I believe that science students should leave university with new conceptual knowledge, improved academic and practical skills, enhanced critical thinking and an analytical mindset, but also improved resilience and determination with a good mindset for life's future challenges.
