PhD in Invasion Ecology, University of East Anglia, 2014
MRes in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, Imperial College London, 2010
BSc in Zoology, University of Bristol, 2009
Research Fellow in Tropical Forest Dynamics, University of Leeds, 2014 - 2019
Research Ecologist, British Trust for Ornithology, 2013 - 2014
To reveal patterns in a messy world! Everything varies, and statistics provides us with the tools to cut through this noise and reveal interesting biological signals.
I lead the Professional Skils for Biologists unit, which covers statistics, research design and employability. I also help with the statistics practical classes for How Science Works and Ecology in the first year. Our statistics teaching uses R, and we have created a series of online interactive tutorials to take students through statistics and R.
I also teach about my research on how tropical forests and other systems respond to changes in the environment in the Biological Responses to Environmental Change and Tropical Ecology and Conservations units.
I lead the Research Analysis unit on the MSc Biological Recording and Ecological Monitoring programme. This takes students through the more advanced statistics they'll need to make sense of complex observational datasets. I also contribute to Practical Techniques and Analysis.
Declan Cooper - PhD student studying the comparative ecology of African tropical forests. Based at UCL, supervised with Simon Lewis, Richard Chandler, Mathias Disney and Richard Pearson.
Mark Thomas - MSc by Research studying ecosystem function in regenerating tropical forest in Peru. Supervised with Scott Pedley.
My research spans a range of taxa and study systems, but is united by a desire to understand ecological patterns and processes in order to be able to predict responses to future changes in the environment.
Much of my recent research focuses on how tropical forests respond to global change, and the role of biodiversity in influencing this. Studying the macroecology of tropical forest dynamics is only possible thanks to many collaborators around the world, including the Rainfor and AfriTRON networks, and the ForestPlots database. I develop analysis tools, such as the BiomasaFP R package, to help people work with forest inventory plot data.
Other areas I work on include assessing the drivers of change in bird communities, investigating ways to improve the success of saltmarsh restoration, and developing methods to better predict the spread and impact of non-native species.
