Summary

I am in the last 6 months of my PhD on the naiveté of native mammals towards alien predators. I'm interested in the short, medium and longer-term processes through which introduced species interact with local fauna in their new environments.

I'm also interested more broadly in terrestrial wildlife ecology and conservation.
