Orchid evolution and pollination

My favourite study systems – orchids and their pollinators!
Seabird sensory ecology

Auckland is one of the world’s great seabird hotspots. Seabirds are one of the world’s most at-risk animal groups. Their nocturnality, colonial breeding and long term pair bonds selects for intense sensory skills. Can we use this for their conservation?
Pollination ecology
I have a general interest in all types of pollination, including applied agricultural and horticultural research, conservation, and testing evolutionary theories.
