      Endemic species of the South Georgian continental shelf and the potential effects on their distribution and biodiversity as a result of climate-related environmental change, supervisors: Dr Chris Yesson and Dr Oliver Hogg. I constructed the South Georgian endemic species list by reviewing records in online databases and literature and assessed the potential changes in their distributions by integrating a high-resolution bathymetric grid and a 3D hydrodynamic model with marine species distribution modelling techniques. The project was based at the Institution of Zoology in collaboration with British Antarctic Survey. Show less

      The potential for Bombus terrestris invasions into South Africa and niche conflict with native pollinators, supervisors: Dr Henry Ferguson-Gow and Dr Richard Pearson. I predicted suitable habitats for Bombus terrestris invasions into South Africa and assessed the potential for conflict with native pollinators by using species distribution modelling techniques in conjunction with niche-overlap models.
