Research interests
My research focuses on how links between physiology and behaviour influence life-history strategies and trade-offs involved with foraging and predator-avoidance behaviours. I am also interested in the effects of environmental stress on animal behaviour, and the scaling of metabolic rate with body size in organisms and its relationship to ecology.
