My research interests in ecology include pollination ecology, invasion ecology, agro-ecology, biological control, urban ecology and restoration ecology.  A theme that runs through many of my projects is the use of ecological networks to as a tool to answer a variety of environmental questions.  For example does restoration ecology restore ecological function, are ecosystem services affected by farming approach and how do aliens integrate into ecological networks?  I work as both a pure and an applied ecologist and I am particularly keen on working at the interface between the two disciplines.  A wide variety of techniques are used by my research group, from field observation to field experiment, from theory to molecular approaches.
