I am broadly interested in understanding anthropogenic changes to ecosystems, spatial ecology and biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s increasingly accepted that we\u2019ve entered the Anthropocene – a whole new geological era where human activity has significant impacts on our planet\u2019s environment and ecosystems. One of these defining impacts is how we are rearranging patterns of biodiversity at a global scale. Species are increasingly being introduced to new areas through the process of human-mediated dispersal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During my PhD I am working on the impacts of globalization on biological invasions, focusing on the spread of invasive insects through networks of global trade and travel. Insects are one of the most diverse and widespread animal taxa, and unlike most vertebrates and plants are largely introduced unintentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using records of border interceptions from eight world regions, I am studying the key traded commodities associated with insect introductions. I am further exploring the links between trade flows and invasion asymmetry across biogeographic regions, and attempting to identify traits linked to transport, establishment success and invasiveness in insects. <\/p>\n<\/div>
