Key research areas:
(a) Facultative anadromy in Salmo trutta (brown trout).
This project examines evolutionary and ecological processes underpinning variation in migratory tactics within natural populations. Specifically, we are interested in understanding why some brown trout individuals go to sea -- so called "sea trout" -- some undertake migrations between freshwater habitats, e.g. streams to lakes, while still others remain within rivers all their lives. The goals are to (i) tease apart the relative roles of genes and environment in shaping migratory tactics and associated life history variation, (ii) understand how variation in individual energy budgets underpins migratory decisions, (iii) hone in on genomic regions and molecular mechanisms involved, and (iv) develop models that can be used to forecast the potential effects of climate change and other stressors on trout populations. The insights from this project will be relevant and transferable to other species that exhibit partial migration -- a common phenomenon in birds, fish, mammals and insects. We are also interested in the conservation and fisheries management implications of our findings
For our recent review on this topic, see here, and for a review on so-called "premature migration" in salmonids generally, see here.
(b) Wild pedigrees and quantitative genetics
A pedigree is a 'family tree' that charts the ancestry of known individuals, e.g. ringed birds or tagged fish, within a study population. Offspring can be matched to their parents based on observation (e.g. chicks are ringed in the nest and parents are also ringed), using DNA profiling techniques, or both. Pedigrees open the door to a host of interesting questions in evolutionary genetics, population biology and conservation biology. One can explore whether populations are evolving in response to changes in their environment, dissect the extent to which traits can evolve along independent trajectories in males and females, determine the relative reproductive success of wild versus captive origin salmon, and quantify the effects of inbreeding on phenotypes and fitness. My collaborators and I are reconstructing multi-generational pedigrees for well-studied Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations in Burrishoole (Co. Mayo, Ireland) and the Girnock Burn (Aberdeenshire, Scotland). For recent papers stemming from these salmon pedigree projects, see here and here. I also continue to collaborate with Prof. Marcel Visser and others at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology on quantitative genetic analyses of an extremely well-studied great tit (Parus major) population, for which the pedigree stretches back tens of generations. See this paper, and also this paper for an example using the Wytham Woods great tit pedigree from Oxford, in collaboration with Prof. John Quinn also at UCC.
Salmon and their relatives are renowned for their homing abilities, and such homing tends to keep local populations spatially isolated. Reduced gene flow among populations, coupled with substantial spatial heterogeneity in environmental conditions, then set the stage for the evolution of "local adaptation": adaptive genetic divergence among populations. Together with collaborators in the Fish Eye team, we have been conducting experiments over the years (and continue with new experiments) with Atlantic salmon (e.g. this paper) and brown trout to test for local adaptation, i.e. where individuals have highest fitness in their "home environment" relative to "away environments", or where "local" individuals have higher fitness compared to "foreign" individuals. We also strive for a better understanding of the phenotypic characters, genetic architectures and ecological mechanisms underpinning local adaptation at different spatial scales.
(d) Plastic and micro-evolutionary responses to climate change
Over the years I have maintained a strong interest in how populations cope with climate change and other types of anthropogenic change via some combination of dispersal, phenotypic plasticity and adaptive evolution. During my PhD, I was interested in environmental drivers of phenology in seabirds, and characterised plasticity at the individual level and shifting patterns of natural selection on reaction norms (see here and here). For my first postdoc I shifted gears to work with Pacific salmon, but continued along this theme and published a review paper on the general topic, as well as modelling papers exploring the links between plasticity and population viability and microevolution and population persistence in a changing climate. A second postdoc in the Netherlands saw me move back to birds (great tits), where again we were interested in changes in the timing of breeding in relation to climate change and the evolutionary (e.g. here and here), ecological (here and here) and eco-evolutionary (here and here) consequences.
More recently I was involved in a review on the impacts of climate change on marine vertebrates, and a meta-analysis of adaptive responses to climate change across animals, mainly focussed on phenological traits in birds.
(e) Evolutionary ecology of malaria vectors
Recently I have entered an exciting nascent collaboration with Dr Gerry Killeen exploring ecological and evolutionary processes influencing the dynamics of malaria vectors such as Anopheles mosquitos and the upshot for rates of malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. Concepts that have been applied in conservation ecology and fisheries management, such as the portfolio effect idea, can also be applied to the reciprocal goal of eliminating the least valued elements of global biodiversity, such as disease agents and their vectors. In a recent perspective piece, we argue that the portfolio effect can cushion mosquito populations and malaria transmission against vector control interventions. In future projects, we hope to develop experiments and simulation models that will test strategies for manipulating evolutionary and ecological processes influencing mosquito populations, which in turn influence transmission dynamics of malaria and other diseases.
(f) Seabird evolutionary ecology
During my PhD at the University of Edinburgh I worked with my supervisors Emma Cunningham and Loeske Kruuk on the evolutionary ecology of seabirds, together with colleagues at the Coastal Seas Ecology Group at the CEH Edinburgh (formerly Banchory), including Mike Harris, Sarah Wanless, Morten Frederiksen (now at Aarhus University), and Francis Daunt. Topics explored included drivers of variation in phenology and its fitness consequences in common guillemots in Scotland and the US, reproductive senescence in guillemots, and parasite impacts on parental investment in male versus female offspring and offspring performance as a function of hatching order in European shags. Since my PhD I have continued to work with these and other collaborators on the parasite story (e.g. here) and other interesting topics such as carry-over effects and skipped breeding.

Research Interests
I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in how organisms respond, and populations adapt, to environments that are highly variable across space and time, and heavily influenced by humans. My work applies a range of approaches (field and lab-based experiments, statistical analysis of longitudinal data, quantitative and molecular genetics, simulation modelling) to understand how ecological and evolutionary processes interactively shape life histories and the dynamics of genes, phenotypes and populations. I work mainly with fish (Atlantic salmon, Pacific salmon and trout) and birds (woodland songbirds and seabirds) in Ireland and abroad.My team at UCC is part of a wider collaborative network of scientists studying fish ecology and evolution in dynamic ecosystems, spearheaded by Dr Phil McGinnity; check out our FishEye group website.
