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. 

Current/recent research projects:

• Going Feral: The evolutionary ecology of reverse-domestication in an iconic fish species (Atlantic salmon).
• EMFAF GeneFlow: Genetic monitoring of introgression of farm genes into wild Atlantic salmon populations around Ireland.
• A genetic investigation into the uniqueness of coal tits Periparus ater hibernicus and Eurasian wrens Troglodytes troglodytes in Ireland
• Evolutionary and ecological processes underpinning variation in migratory tactics in brown trout Salmo trutta 
• Farm-wild interactions in Atlantic salmon
• Portfolio effects in malaria vectors in Africa
