Research

My current research is broadly focussed around the area of marine ecology, biology and ecotoxicology.

Marine Biology:

• Crustacean Biology
• Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates
• Amphipod ecophysiology
• Marine parasitology

Marine Ecology

• Crustacean ecology
• Intertidal and benthic ecology
• Effects of fishing and offshore developments (renewable energy) on benthic communities 
• Interactions between parasites and their hosts
• Adaptation of marine organisms to their environment

Ecotoxicology

• Endocrine disruption in Invertebrates
• Effects of nanoparticles on aquatic organisms
• Pheromone disruption in Crustacea
• Using amphipods in monitoring the health of the environment
