I am a wildlife ecologist and conservation biologist at Bangor University. My research focuses on the effects of global change, particularly in land use and climate, on large-scale patterns of species occurrence and abundance. I am especially interested in using historical data and projected future scenarios to predict past and future patterns that add context to the current world and aid in conservation prioritization. I am also keenly interested in developing and testing approaches to harness the power of community science data for occurrence and abundance modelling. Recently, my research has also begun to explore nature's benefits to people, including the wellbeing benefits derived from avian soundscapes.
