I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Ben Sheldon at the Edward Grey Institute.




Research Interests

Broadly, I study the ecology and evolution of sociality and population structure.  I am particularly interested in understanding the principles that link the behavioural features of individuals to population ecology, genetic structure, and the environments in which they occur.  I am also interested in the properties of ecological networks, particularly in understanding how ecology, life history, and anthropogenic disturbance can be related to network structure and stability.
