About me
My research focus is on investigating how modern challenges, such as urban expansion, persecution, and noise pollution impact wildlife.
Much of my work involves close interaction with ecological practitioners, with the aim of creating practical and sustainable solutions to human - wildlife conflict.
Area of expertise
I co-lead the Ecology & Conservation Research Lab (conservationresearchuwe.co.uk) through which we conduct a variety of research in the broad theme of Global Environmental Change (GEC).
My research focus is on investigating how modern challenges, such as urban expansion, persecution, and noise pollution impact wildlife. Much of my work involves close interaction with ecological practitioners, with the aim of creating practical and sustainable solutions to human – wildlife interactions.
Recent work includes leading research on sexual segregation in bats within fragmented woodlands, assessing how biodiverse soundscapes impact human health and wellbeing, and understanding the impact of music festivals on wildlife populations.
I have worked on large conservation projects including the National Bats and Wind Turbines project which undertook the the first assessment of the risks to bat populations from wind turbines in Great Britain. We used these results, in collaboration with the Statutory Nature Conservation Organisations, Bat Conservation Trust, and wind energy developers, to produce new guidance for the surveying of commercial wind farms. I have worked with the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) to assess the effectiveness of bat mitigation in buildings.
I supervise several PhD researchers looking at a range of conservation topics including how beaver presence impacts wider biodiversity, identifying effective lighting strategies for tunnels occupied by bats, and the use of eDNA to understand bat occupancy of caves.
