Research interests
My teaching and research experience fall generally into the field of evolutionary ecology, with a particular focus on non-genetic inheritance and gamete plasticity. I am interested in environmental influences on male reproductive success, and whether changes in sperm and seminal fluid quality can influence the growth and survival of offspring.
My innovative research has already yielded a series of truly novel and exciting contributions to our understanding of male and female reproductive strategies. For example,I have shown that sea squirts produce more competitive sperm when surrounded by lots of other sea squirts, but that eggs fertilized by these competitive sperm are less likely to hatch into larvae. I also discovered that the diet of a female’spreviousmating partner (i.e. not the father!) can influence the size of neriid flies, a phenomenon known as telegony. Most recently, I have broadened the scope of my research to include applied human and animal reproduction, testing whether evolutionary ideas can be used to improve health outcomes.
Current areas of research:
Male reproduction
Paternal effects
Sexual selection
Sperm competition
Environmental effects on sperm and seminal fluid
Nutrition and ageing
