My research focuses on understanding the impacts of land-use change on tropical biodiversity. I am particularly interested in understanding the most effective ways of managing tropical landscapes for biodiversity protection and the mechanisms that can be used to fund protection, although I have a range of interests, including; Impacts of logging management on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Tropical agriculture and sustainability. The interaction between climate change and land-use change on extinction risk. Cost-effective conservation within the tropics. Policy drivers of tropical forest protection, including REDD+ and sustainability labeling. Mechanisms of maintenance in mutualism.
