My current research uses a broad-scale macroecological approach to compare the acoustic communication of mammals. In particular, I’m interested in looking at the different aspects of a species’ lifestyle and development and how they influence the sounds they produce and hear.

 

My research also speaks to the current topical issue of re-wilding and reintroduction of animals into their natural habitats. I am interested in investigating how human interaction and long-term exposure to other species influence vocal development in mammals, with the aim of giving these reintroduction programs an increased chance of success in the long-term.
