My group is interested in the evolution and ecology of insect reproductive behaviour. As such we are interested in how natural and sexual selection shapes reproductive decisions and behaviours in insects. We use a variety of approaches, spanning behavioural experiments, fieldwork, to molecular genetics. Current study organisms include parasitic wasps, lygaeid seed bugs, and mealybugs.

We are interested in the evolution and ecology of insect reproductive behaviour. As such, our work includes laboratory and field studies of insect behaviour, making use of both whole-organism and genetic studies.

I am a NERC-funded PhD student in Dr David Shuker's lab group. My PhD focuses on reproductive failures occurring both between individuals of the same species and heterospecifics, as well as post-copulatory sexual selection processes occuring more broadly in the Lygaeidae family.

Prior to this, I graduated from the University of Oxford with a Biological Sciences degree in 2013, completing my undergraduate project on the role of familiarity and olfaction in mate choice in Drosophila under the supervision of Prof. Tommaso Pizzari.
