My research is focused along two lines of inquiry. Firstly, I am interested in the role of seabirds as top predators in marine ecosystems, and how they adapt to changing environments. Secondly, I use demographic analyses and modelling to investigate how changes in animal populations over time are determined by the environment they live in, including both abiotic, biotic and anthropogenic factors. My work is often linked to applied issues in conservation biology or wildlife management.
