CONFLICT ECOLOGY LAB

I am a behavioural ecologist drawn to the rare, the unknown, and the exceptionally weird. To me, attempting to discover an organism's secrets is like an explorer embarking on a quest to discover new lands. I am a keen natural historian with a broad interest in both fauna and flora with an obvious bias towards the ‘little animals that run the earth‘. It is true I am drawn to the amazing world of invertebrates, but I have a soft spot for amphibians (frogs are really invertebrates with backbones), the odd rhino and a childhood fondness of the hippopotamus. I am happy to work on pretty much any animal and pretty much anywhere in the world! the more exotic the better :o)... It's also true that I love playing and watching most types of sport, and enjoy a bit of social kick-around, less-than-pro-tennis and rogaining - which, at times, is exactly like exploring new lands i.e. having no idea where I am and having no idea where to go next. I maintain this extreme fitness regime by avidly..
