Summary
I am MASTS lecturer at the University of St Andrews. My research focuses on quantifying biodiversity and understanding the processes that shape it. I combine ecological theory, synthesis of existing data, and fieldwork in my research, and most of the research questions I’m interested in fall under the disciplines of community ecology, macroecology and biogeography.
