I am a terrestrial ecologist and invertebrate physiologist. I am especially interested in the adaptation and plasticity of organisms’ responses to climate change and how these responses differ between introduced and indigenous species.

I am a soil ecologist focusing my research on soil organisms and soil functioning in agricultural areas. I am mostly interested in the impacts of various cropping practices on the taxonomic and functional diversity of soil macro-, meso- and microorganisms…

I am investigating the impacts of long-term climate trends and elevation on arthropod diversity.

My research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the impact non-pollinator fig wasps have on the success of pollinators, which is crucial for the propagation of fig trees.

The focus of my research is to establish the trophic ecology of Acari and Collembola in agroecosystems by integrating field observations with laboratory trails.

I am investigating food security through soil health looking at the impact of soil management practices on soil biota and crop productivity

My Research involves determining and monitoring baseline taxonomic and functional diversity of above- and below-ground terrestrial invertebrates.

My research will form a baseline dataset of Réunion Collembola to be used for monitoring and ecological research.

My research is to assess changes in ground-dwelling beetle assemblages across an altitudinal gradient in the Cederberg Wilderness Area.

I am studying the species composition and biodiversity of stoneflies in the Cape and examining the conditions of the rivers they live in.

My honours project assesses the effects of the Marion Island’s invasive house mice on invertebrate communities using the more pristine Prince Edward Island as a baseline for comparison.
