Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment.

Comparing navigation strategies in mantis shrimp and bull ants
Mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda) are marine crustaceans with extraordinary eyes, boasting up to 12 channels of colour sensitivity, 6 channels of polarization, and incredible ranges of eye movement. Read more
The relative importance of different Species traits for predicting invasion success and impact - A sensitivity analysis approach
The overall aim of this project is to develop a better understanding of the factors making a potential invader most dangerous. It will quantify species traits (e.g. Read more
The causes of speciation rate variation in nature
The project. Rates of species formation vary dramatically across the tree of life and contribute to profound differences in species richness among clades, regions and through time. Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
The impact of climate change on shorebird populations
Climate change impacts biodiversity worldwide. Our research team investigates the impact of climate change (and from general perspectives, anthropogenetic effects) on shorebirds. Read more
The genetics/genomics of adaptive evolutionary change
The basic process of evolution by natural selection involves genetic changes that confer an advantage in survival or reproduction. Read more
Epigenetic mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity and the evolution of adaptive responses
We now live in a world of rapidly changing environmental conditions where species will need to adapt or perish. While populations may evolve in response to environmental change, more rapid responses may happen through processes like phenotypic plasticity. Read more
