Comment(s)

Much of my research has involved extensive fieldwork and experimentation, sometimes requiring the development of novel methods/techniques for investigating morphology, patterning, and behaviour. Data sets are frequently large and complex, making them highly suitable for exploration with multivariate ordination statistics. In addition to my coral and crab studies, I am presently working on gregariousness, anti-predator defences, and genotype x environment interactions in the giant clam Tridacna squamosa.
