Research
My theoretical research areas include community ecology of freshwater and soil invertebrates and relationships between hosts and symbionts. Much of my research has focused on the ecology, evolution, systematics and behaviour of mites (Arachnida: Acari), with a current focus on mites associated with birds. Other study organisms include terrestrial isopods and ectosymbiotic annelids of crayfish and snails.
