Teaching
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.
