Bio
I am a behavioural and evolutionary ecologist, fascinated by sexual selection and biodiversity of insects and arachnids. Currently, my main research interest is male dimorphism, a phenomenon that often reflects alternative reproductive tactics among males: the large male morphs typically guard females or reproductive territories and have more elaborate weaponry; the small male morphs sneak copulations and have reduced weaponry. Male dimorphism is particularly common among arthropods, and usually results from a polyphenism: the differential expression of alternative phenotypes from a single genotype depending upon environmental conditions. I have investigated several questions about polyphenic male dimorphism with a series of experiments using mites, harvestmen, and dung beetles.
I did my PhD at the University of Western Australia, where I later worked as a postdoc for five years. I then moved to Sydney to take a short term lectureship at Macquarie University, where I was based for two years. Between 2020 and 2021, I spent two years working part-time as an environmental consultant, focusing on the biodiversity of short-range endemic invertebrates and subterranean fauna of the Pilbara and Goldfields regions of Western Australia. In 2022, I started at Flinders University, where I am a Lecturer in Terrestrial Ecology.
