Senior Ecologist

I am a terrestrial ecologist with a particular passion for bumblebees and other insect pollinators and broader research interests in the interactions between biodiversity and land-use change. I use a combination of field observations, experiments, molecular genetics, analyses of long-term datasets and modelling approaches to answer research questions. The overall aim is to inform agri-environment policy and other management practices that will conserve and enhance diverse pollinator populations, and more widely contribute to our growing understanding of sustainable farming systems. I co-ordinate the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme as part of the Pollinator Monitoring and Research Partnership.
