Research

Interests

I have studied a variety of taxa including amphibians, mammals, and raptors. The connecting thread behind all of the projects I've worked on is "perception".

I am interested in the study of how animals perceive their environment and how that can influence behaviours. I have studied chemical communication, hearing physiology, and am currently studying perception in bats and how that can influence orientation ability.

Further, I aim to use my research for applied conservation efforts. I use lab and field methods to provide information on how behaviour can be applied to possible conservation action.
