Research Overview

My research uses integrative approaches to understand how and why there is so much diversity in our oceans, and how climate change will impact this diversity. I investigate patterns of biodiversity and the evolutionary processes driving this diversity using field work, museum collections, genomic tools, phylogenetic inference, population genetics, microscopy and ecological modelling. I am particularly interested in investigating i) the evolution of warning colouration and mimicry in nudibranchs, ii) the evolution of parasitism in marine gastropods and iii) climate-linked biodiversity loss in our oceans.
