Forest diversity effects on wood ants
Wood ants (Formica spp) play a keystone role in boreal forest ecosystems by influencing the structure and composition of soil and forest floor vegetation as well as the abundance of other ground-dwelling arthropods and invertebrate foliar herbivores. Read more
PhD in Applied Ecology - Developing data-driven modelling in Applied Ecology
We live in a changing world and a challenge for ecologists is to forecast how such changes will impact on natural populations. We tackle problems such as forest management, weed invasions and predicting the impacts of land management on populations of plants, insects and birds. Read more

Inga agroforestry to enhance soil regeneration and carbon sequestration in degraded tropical soils.
Extensive tracts of land in the tropics have already been cleared of forest, used first to grow crops and then as pasture. The removal of the tropical forest severely diminishes the capacity of the ecosystem to retain nutrients and carbon in the soil. Read more
Plant-insect interactions in a changing world
Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more
