Research interests

I am an evolutionary ecologist with interests in all aspects of social evolution, from bacteria to birds. Social interactions are widespread, and in microbes, play a crucial role in human health and the environment. I use a combination of fitness assays, experimental evolution and molecular microbiology to investigate whether social traits occur in natural environments, and more crucially if they matter.
