I am interested in understanding the how interactions between organisms and their food resources generate the patterns of species distribution, habitat use, behaviour and abundance, that we see in nature.

Furthermore, I aim to understand how consumer-resource interactions affect the structure, functioning and service provision of ecosystems.

My recent research has combined statistical modelling and individual-based modelling to examine the conditions under which consumers cause depletion of food resources.
