Research Interests

In recent years, ecological parasitologists have increasingly realised the important consequences for hosts of co-infection with multiple parasites.

I am using long-term data from multiple populations of three-spined sticklebacks to look at patterns of co-infection and the consequences that this may have for parasite communities and the effect on fitness in the host.
