My research focuses on the ecology and conservation of bats, with particular interests in forest ecology, habitat selection, species distributions, and responses to environmental change. I use a combination of field-based approaches, including bioacoustic monitoring, radio telemetry and microclimate measurements, together with spatial and ecological modelling to understand how bats use and respond to heterogeneous and changing landscapes. My current research particularly explores the relationships between forest structure and naturalness, climate and microclimate, roosting ecology, activity patterns, and the distribution and energetic requirements of woodland bats. More broadly, I am interested in applying species distribution, mechanistic and individual-based modelling to conservation questions, including predicting species responses to climate and land-use change and identifying habitats that can provide long-term refugia for wildlife.
