Biography

Evolutionary ecologist with a background in life-history evolution and senescence. My research focus is on understanding impacts of environmental variation, including anthropogenic disturbance, such as infrastructure development, on animal populations and biodiversity in general. I have worked with a range of study systems including insects, plants, mammals and birds, and my particular expertise lies with sciurids.

Degrees:

Ph.D. in Ecology at the University of Aberdeen (2017)

B.Sc. (Hons) in Animal Biology at the University of Stirling (2013)

CANALLS Agroecological practices for sustainable transition


Agroecology covers all activities and actors involved in food systems. It also places the well-being of people (producers and consumers of crops and products) at its core. The EU-funded CANALLS project will focus on the agroecological zones and diverse farming systems in the humid tropics of Central and Eastern Africa. It will explore the complex environmental, social and economic challenges, which in some cases are exacerbated by conflict and high vulnerability. Moreover, it will advance agroecological transitions in these regions through multi-actor transdisciplinary agroecology Living Labs at eight sites in four countries. The focus will be on crops such as cocoa, coffee and cassava, which are vital for subsistence and economic development.
