So, what am I working on?...

I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss.


Through the conversion of large areas of countryside into farmland and towns, many animals and plants have lost areas of their original habitat. This affects how many organisms survive, how they move and how they interact. When combined with a changing climate it is highly likely that a range of organisms are going to be effected, causing biodiversity loss and altering ecosystems.

Did you know that were mid way through the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity?

A recent newsletter from the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust (one of my field sites in the Waikato) brought to my attention one of the positive cases of conservation being undertaken globally. More information about worldwide events can be found at:
