Biodiversity and Ecology
We are a team of interdisciplinary ecologists working around the general theme of biodiversity change. We work across multiple ecosystems, taxa, spatial and temporal scales, and methodological approaches. This allows us to provide the scientific basis for both applied and theoretical questions related to biodiversity change.
Our inter-disciplinary group's work spans the theoretical, empirical and methodological spheres and often involves the combination of large datasets and complex biological models.
Our work often has an applied focus, and recent questions we have focused on in this regard include examining how: 1) multiple global change drivers interact to affect biodiversity at different scales; 2) the impacts of urbanisation on different components of biodiversity; 3) the interactions between vegetation and environmental change at large scales; and 4) the processes that control the provision of key ecosystem services in global peatlands.
