Collaborations

I also have collaborative projects with the following:

Walter Jetz – phylogenetic & spatial analysis of comparative data (Yale: )
Tamas Szekely – Sexual conflict in birds (University of Bath )
John Pannell – Large scale dynamics and sexual systems in annual mercury (University of Oxford, Plant Sciences )

Teaching activities

At Level 1 I lecture for APS121 (Evolution) and at Level 3 I lecture for APS342 (Evolutionary Ecology).

At level 3 I teach on a 10-day residential course in Borneo (APS 306 - Tropical Biology Rain Forest Field Course) and I supervise Projects (APS330) on herbivore-plant interactions, spatial ecology and plant population dynamics, usually field-based.

I have supervised Level 4 Research Projects (APS 406) on conservation, macroecology and evolution.
