How do behavioural, ecological, and environmental processes shape the diversity of life on earth?

​I am an evolutionary biologist who uses phylogenetic comparative methods to study the heterogeneity of diversity across space and time. My and my students' research spans the fields of macroecology, macroevolution, and behavioural ecology -- these days mostly in birds and mammals, but we also sometimes work with fish, spiders, and human languages.

I am currently (2019-present) a Senior Research Associate at the University of Bristol, working on environmental and behavioural drivers of global variation in bird and mammal traits.
