My profile

Biography

I study how species and ecosystems respond to environmental change. Most of my current research focuses on tropical forests, and I have been working in this area since joining the University of Leeds as a postdoctoral researcher in 2014. Prior to that my research mostly focused on birds. I did my PhD at the University of East Anglia, looking at how to model the spread and predict the impact of non-native bird species in the Iberian Peninsula. After finishing my PhD, I spent a year working as a Research Ecologist at the British Trust for Ornithology, where I analysed data from the Breeding Bird Survey to investigate how bird communities in the UK are changing.

I joined Manchester Metropolitan University in 2019, and have developed several projects working in African tropical forests. I am also involved in other areas of research, including studying saltmarsh restoration and blue carbon, and continue my early love of birds by being a member of the British Ornithologists’ Union Grants Committee. I teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses in statistics and research skills, as well contributing research informed teaching in tropical ecology and biological responses to environmental change. 

Projects

AfriMont - African montane forest plot network

I was involved in establishing the AfriMont network bringing together researchers working in African montane forests to share plot data, which has been led by Dr Aida Cuni-Sanchez. We have found that African montane forests have surprisingly high carbon stocks, and we are continuing to study the biodiversity and dynamics of these forests.

Monitoring Upper Guinean forests

In 2020 I led a GCRF project working with Dr Moses Sainge to survey carbon stocks in and around two protected areas in Sierra Leone. This project also involved training students from Fourah Bay College in data collection and analysis methods, and surveying communities around the forests to find out how they value them. I am now working with Moses as he leads a project as part of the WABiLED programme which is looking at a larger number of forests in the region.

Role of lightning in African montane forest dynamics

I am leading a NERC funded project bringing together an international team to study the effect of lightning on African montane forests. As part of this project I am working with Dr Evan Gora  to assess whether the dramatic effect of lightning he has found in Panama is also evident in African montane forests, and have been conducting fieldwork in Rwanda, Uganda and DRC.

Teaching

Why study statistics if you are an ecologist?

To reveal patterns in a messy world! Everything varies, and statistics provides us with the tools to cut through this noise and reveal interesting biological signals.

Postgraduate teaching

I lead the Research Analysis unit on the MSc Biological Recording and Ecological Monitoring programme. This takes students through the more advanced statistics they’ll need to make sense of complex observational datasets. I also contribute to Practical Techniques and Analysis.

Supervision

Declan Cooper - PhD student studying the comparative ecology of African tropical forests. Based at UCL, supervised with Simon Lewis, Richard Chandler, Mathias Disney and Richard Pearson.

Mark Thomas - MSc by Research studying ecosystem function in regenerating tropical forest in Peru. Supervised with Scott Pedley.

Research outputs

My research spans a range of taxa and study systems, but is united by a desire to understand ecological patterns and processes in order to be able to predict responses to future changes in the environment.

Much of my recent research focuses on how tropical forests respond to global change, and the role of biodiversity in influencing this. Studying the macroecology of tropical forest dynamics is only possible thanks to many collaborators around the world, including the Rainfor and AfriTRON networks, and the ForestPlots database. I develop analysis tools, such as the BiomasaFP R package, to help people work with forest inventory plot data. 

Other areas I work on include assessing the drivers of change in bird communities, investigating ways to improve the success of saltmarsh restoration, and developing methods to better predict the spread and impact of non-native species.
