Summary

I study plant, fungal, and insect ecology, primary in grasslands and agroecosystems, in the context of climate change and invasive species. I used genomic, metabolomic, experimental, and mathematical modelling techniques. I have been an editor for Journal of Ecology (2005-2015), and for Animal Ecology (2006-2015). I have been on the editorial boards of Behavioral Ecology and Global Change Biology. I am the lead author of the 2011 book: Climate Change Biology (CABI), and am the lead author of the 2017 book: Defending Biodiversity: Environmental Science and Ethics (CUP). David Gibson and I co-edited the book: Grasslands and Climate Change (BES Ecological Reviews Series, CUP).

I am an ecologist. I study climate change and invasive species, largely in the context of plant-animal-fungal interactions in temperature grasslands. My work spans molecular biology, metabolomics, field ecology, and mathematical and statistical modelling.
