Position in the INVASIVESNET Associate Member
Associate Editor of Aquatic Invasions and BioInvasions Records

Expertise Much of my work has involved using the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) as a model to study the traits of invasive species. In particular I study how behaviour can affect invasive success. I am also interested in patterns of, and threats to, biodiversity in freshwater habitats.
