Job title:
Principal Research Fellow

Areas of interest

My research focusses on invertebrate ecology in the agri-environment and primarily the impacts of farming practice and land management on the ecosystem services of pest control and pollination underpinning crop production. I have worked in many cropping systems including arable, soft fruit and top fruit production and my research is applied and often industry funded.

Specific areas of interest include:

Insect pollination ecology and crop production

Ecological intensification of smallholder farming systems

Effects of agricultural practices on pests and natural enemies

Trophic influences of soil fertility management in agricultural systems

Integrated Pest Management
