My main research interest is understanding behavioural adaptations employed by marine organisms to meet physiological and biological demands. My focus is on top predators and I use two major approaches: stable isotope analysis and acoustic telemetry (see below). At a broad level my interests/background include: 

  • Marine biodiversity, conservation, and ecology
  • Predator-prey relationships
  • Trophic interactions in food webs
  • Movement and habitat selection of marine organisms
  • Interspecific and intraspecific feeding behaviour
  • Using biomarkers to understand trophic ecology

The application of stable isotope analysis in ecosystem studies is a powerful tool that uses biogeochemical markers to explore the relationship between animals, their diet, and their environment.

Passive acoustic telemetry enables long-term continuous tracking of marine animals. It consists of two main components: transmitter (implanted into organism) and receiver (moored listening device).
