My principal research interests are in the ecology
and conservation of British, native species. My PhD considered
the dispersal, survival, population size and habitat requirements
of two rare species of damselfly and informed conservation
management plans. Since then I have become interested in the
role of habitat structure and composition in conservation
management and the application of predictive modelling and
GIS techniques to conservation ecology issues. I am now working
on burning-biodiversity relationships with a view to developing
practical moorland management tools.
