Research Interests
My current research is mainly in marine biology and fisheries, particularly on the biology and ecology of marine mammals and cephalopods, but also on biodiversity, coastal zone management, and modelling habitat use in marine animals. The geographical focus of my work includes Scottish waters, the Iberian peninsula, the Mediterranean and the SW Atlantic.

Current Research
My main research interests are in the life history and ecology of cephalopods and marine mammals and in fisheries. Current work include a study on life history in the Iberian harbour porpoise (for ASCOBANS), a study on the role of marine mammals in the Bay of Biscay ecosystem (FACTS project) and analysis of the distribution and trophic role of sardine in Iberian peninsula waters. I am also part of the AQUATNET network coordinating a module on generic skills training.

Collaborations
My group collaborates with scientists in a range of European fisheries laboratories and universities, notably in Spain and Portugal, as well as various UK-based and international collaborations.

Research Grants
I have co-ordinated several European projects, including BIOCET (on bioaccumulation of contaminants in marine mammals), CEPHSTOCK (on cephalopod biology and fisheries) and ECOSUMMER (a Marie Curie training network), as well as participating in a range of other projects including INCOFISH, EnviEFH and AQCESS. My group has also received funding from a range of research council, government, industry and NGO sources to carry out projects such as modelling cetacean habitat use, creation of a web-based zooplankton identification guide, analysing trends in depredation by cetaceans from longlines, assesing squid stocks and investigating the diet of the Mediterranean monk seal.
