I am a behavioural and evolutionary ecologist working in the Dept of Biological Sciences at Macquarie University, Sydney. I am generally interested in the ecology and evolution of sexual reproduction, but my specific area of interest lies in the evolutionary outcome of reproductive conflict between and within the sexes. My research deals with the evolution of mating strategies, sexual signalling and mate choice (both pre & postcopulatory).

The majority of my research has focused on praying mantid mating sytems, where I am particularly interested in the evolution of sexual cannibalism (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNgWZc4SrX8) and its effect on male mate choice and reproductive success. I have also studied various aspects of mating behaviour in butterflies, orb-web spiders and jumping spiders.
