ABOUT ME
I am currently working on a project entitled "Global Lagomorph Macroecology: interspecific interactions and the impact of climate change". I have explored a variety of ecological questions relating to the global distribution of lagomorphs, a widespread mammalian group comprising rabbits, hares and pikas. I have used many techniques, including species distribution modelling, literature reviews, phylogenetic analyses and ecological network theory, to advance knowledge on this group of species.
