Research

Research Overview

I conduct ecological and multi-disciplinary socio-ecological research aimed at providing strong empirical evidence for practical solutions to pressing conservation issues.

My ecological research aims are to understand

the contribution of dispersal to the dynamics of populations,

to understand how the outcome of trophic interactions is modified by dispersal and

to apply population ecology to wildlife management and conservation.

I achieve these aims by conducting large scale, often long-term field studies with birds and mammals as well as by linking theoretical insights with empirical findings using state of the art statistical techniques.

I work with e.g. water vole metapopulations, cyclic field voles, their birds of prey predators, food plants and parasites in commercial forests and non-native American mink culled as part of conservation efforts, forest ecosystem managed for timber or transformed for rewilding, rats in Madagascar, non-native pines wasps and mink in South America and people.

I am invested in conservation biology, including the management of invasive species and rewilding. I research how to optimise the impact of conservation volunteers. I collaborate with multiple NGOs over many years.

Density-dependent recruitment but not survival drives cyclic dynamics in a field vole population

For 101 years, ecologists have sought to explain the 3-4 years multi-annual cycles of voles and lemmings. Oddly, debates on the demographic phenomenon that underpin multi-annual cycles have largely taken place in the absence of demographic data. In our paper, we find that Density-dependent recruitment, especially early in the breeding season, but not survival drives cyclic dynamics in a field vole population, overturning accepted wisdom.
