TEACHING INTERESTS

I co-ordinate and teach courses in Population and Community Ecology (BIOL327) and a post-graduate practical course in Ecological Restoration (ERES526). Most years I also contribute to Animal Diversity (BIOL228), Environmental Science (ENSC301/302) and either Ecological Restoration (ERES525) or Conservation Biology (BIOL420).
I encourage post-graduate students to pursue studies of both a pure and applied nature.
