Evolution of trophic position, omnivory, and food web structure

My goals are to understand the bioenergetics (energy use/allocation) of sea turtles and how resource availability, abundance and human perturbations such as climate change affect their reproductive output and growth.

I am interested in how marine habitat-forming species respond to environmental stress, and how these responses shape community dynamics.

I am interested in the effects of climate change (warming) on species interactions in the rocky intertidal.

I'm modelling the concentreations of airborne pollutants emitted from whale watching vessels and inhaled by killer whales, and am estimating the physiological consequences of this exposure to pollutants.
