Research

We aim to understand how natural selection shape the life history and behaviour of wild animal populations. Our work focuses mainly on seabirds (shags, boobies, gulls, guillemots) living in islands, but has also involved studies on several other vertebrate and invertebrate species  (flycatchers, toads, earthwoms). We are also interested in   wildlife conservation   (see our research on the effects of the Prestige oil spill)
