Expertise: I am a comparative/ecological/evolutionary physiologist interested in how animals function and how function evolves. Over the past decade my research has focused primarily on the mechanisms of digestion and nutrient absorption, modelling digestive capacity, nutritional ecology, kidney function, and salt and water balance.

More recently, my research program is expanding into the emerging area of conservation physiology and medicine- applying the concepts and methodologies of these fields to pressing problems in conservation of wildlife and biodiversity in general.

I am always happy to talk to students about potential summer research, honours and PhD projects
