I am a PhD student at the University of Southampton, currently working in Dan Smale’s research group. My research focuses on the diversity stability theory, specifically investigating how marine communities respond to disturbances such as Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the role of community diversity driving these responses.Using existing biological and environmental data on rocky subtidal … Read more
I am a behavioural ecologist with a background in marine science and a particular interest in colour polymorphism, camouflage, and predator-prey interactions. My research explores how visual perception shapes animal behaviour and colouration, with a strong focus on sensory ecology and quantitative analysis using hyperspectral reflectance data. I am nearing completion of a PhD at … Read more
I am a graduate in Marine Biology, working at the MBA as a Plankton Analyst identifying taxa in both net-caught and Continuous Plankton Recorder samples.
