I mainly work on plant population dynamics, demographic models and their applications. I am currently running the project on the evolution of invasive plants where we combine experimental and modelling approaches to investigate
- Factors affecting population establishment, such as propagule pressure and disturbance
- Variability of demographic rates and invasion success
- Population dynamics and management of plant invasions
- Effects of plant invasions on plant communities
- Genetic diversity of the invasive herb, Lupinus polyphyllus
