Rather excited to share that i've been awarded an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award!! Time to start working on uncovering how predation shaped the evolution of intelligence and how we can use that knowledge for conservation.

Paper out in Ecology Letters!

We - incl. @westobymark.bsky.social @biogeokreft.bsky.social and others - show that traits are linked to species’ colonisation and extinction probabilities on #islands — with direct implications for species persistence and the Equilibrium Theory of Island #Biogeography
Resurveyed Island Vegetation Reveals That Species Colonisation and Extinction Probabilities Are Linked to Traits
We show that species richness and community trait composition on 132 Australian islands remained stable over six decades, despite high species turnover. Colonisation and extinction probabilities were....
