Summary
I investigate the sensory and physiological basis of insect behaviour. I am particularly interested in phenotypic plasticity, which I explore using social and sexual systems in locusts, but I am open to supervision or collaboration on any organism we can get into the lab!
I am co-convenor of the Royal Entomological Society's annual Orthoptera meeting. If you would like to come along, or even present your work, then please do get in touch – students and enthusiasts are particularly welcome.
