Current role – Doctoral Teaching Assistant and PhD Student
Project Title: Do complex signals help structure intertidal communities? Chemical ecology of patellid limpet mucus.
The aim of my current project is to understand how chemical mediation can shape intertidal community structure, using ecosystem engineering species (Patellid limpets) as a model source of chemical information.
