My current research interests broadly fall within tropical marine invertebrate ecology and physiology. I work on projects exploring ecological responses to environmental change, usually having an anthropogenic origin. I undertake general benthic surveys and community ecology analyses. A particular recent focus at the organismal-level, aims to understand behavioural and physiological capacities and responses of marine gastropods to novel thermal or acidification regimes. This work, framed within the context of climate change biology, uses organisms that experience exceptional thermal heterogeneity along tropical rock shorelines or extraordinary acid sulphate soil inflows into intertidal marine systems (mainly estuarine). Results are often considered in the context of contemporary ecological and evolutionary theories, which have been developed using less extreme environmental circumstances and model systems.
This project will consider how intertidal ectotherms behaviourally thermoregulate and acclimate to the temperature extremes experienced when exposed in air. We are especially interested in unraveling the nature and mechanisms of rapid heat hardening. Other elements include multi-stressor responses, such as the coupled effects of heating and drying when air-exposed.
This project will explore the constraints on energetic balance of circumstances leading to limited energetic uptake and the apparently high energy costs of life in acidified estuarine ecosystem. It will involve gastropods as a model system.
