Bioacoustics; anthropogenic noise; biotremology; marine ecology
United States, United Kingdom

Biography

My interests include bioacoustics and biotremology (biological sounds and substrate-borne vibrations), and behavioural & sensory ecology. I have particular interests regarding anthropogenic stressors, such as noise (both as substrate-borne vibrations or acoustic waves), passive acoustic/vibrational monitoring and the detection abilities of animals. Much of my work to date has been based in the marine environment with fish and benthic invertebrates, but more recently I have been working with terrestrial arthropods, and also in soil bioacoustics. I am currently a lecturer in Marine Biology and part of the Ecology and Marine Biology research group at the University of Liverpool.
