Lecturer in the Department of Biological and Marine Sciences at the University of Hull, UK. I am interested in the evolution of parental care and social behaviour, especially how these crucial animal interactions shape, and are shaped by, animals’ nutritional environments - and how they are influenced by the pressures of anthropogenic change. I have conducted phylogenetic-comparative work across many taxa and also experimental lab- and fieldwork on on various taxa (assassin bugs, thrips, katydids and, most recently, wild bees).
