Research

My research interests include the study of organisms (especially birds, dormice and plants) in relation to their environment. I am particularly fascinated by the dependence of species on other species or their own for cues that lead to reproductive regulation. Evolution depends on sending genes into future generations, I investigate some of the extraordinary mechanisms and constraints involved with doing so. I also tought courses on this subject for CCE. I also have an active interest in investigating effects of climate change on the local ecology and phenology.
