Research

I am an evolutionary ecologist and biogeographer with >15 years of experience working in the lab and in the field. I use birds to ask questions pertaining to the distribution of life on Earth and draw on an array of data spanning genomic sequence data, morphological trait data, species distributions, pathogens, gut microbes, satellite tracking data and theoretical modelling. I spend a month in the field every year to collect new data and have a particular fondness for the Indo-Pacific archipelagos, with its vast number of islands spanning the smallest atolls to the largest tropical island of New Guinea.
