Research Areas

Marine biology, urban marine ecology, ecological engineering, coral reefs, animal colours, patterns and morphology.

Research Interests

I am an experimental marine ecologist who focusses on organism-environment interactions in nearshore waters, especially those close to urban centres. In both my curiosity-driven and translational work, I emphasise the design, build, implementation, and analysis of high-quality novel experiments. My research generates large quantities of new information and the great majority of my publications are data based. I am fundamentally concerned with increasing understanding of the ecology and functioning of tropical coastal marine organisms and communities.
