Biography
My research interests include community ecology and coastal marine science. Specific areas of interest include seagrass and mangrove ecology, plant-animal interactions and beach wrack dynamics. I am also currently focusing on food-web dynamics and the use of stable isotopes in tracing nutrient flow.
Key research
- mangrove ecology
- seagrass ecology
- coastal foodwebs/systems
- insect ecology
