Research interests
My main research interests lie within behavioural ecology focusing on phenotypic plasticity. I am interested in how species can rapidly change both their behaviour and overall phenotype to better suit their environment.
In my PhD I am investigating how varying levels of female competition and maternal competitive phenotypes affect offspring phenotype through maternal effects. This project aims to highlight the importance of the breeding environment and how relatively small differences can impact offspring.
