Main Focus
Physiological adaptations and diversification underlying speciation and distribution of species. Tracking and bio-logging of highly mobile species, and ecological modelling. Migration and foraging movements (birds and marine mammals) as indicators of the effects of anthropogenic and seasonal environmental change in the marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
