Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies ecology and biodiversity in specific landscapes, including species descriptions of frogs from Madagascar, vegetation and fog patterns in cloud forests of Oman and Yemen, and habitat suitability for mammals like the pine marten in Britain. Work combines field surveys, taxonomy, and geospatial/remote-sensing methods to understand how vegetation, climate, and human land-use practices such as livestock grazing affect species and ecosystems.
