My research has developed from purely ecological studies of agricultural pests to examining both the biological and institutional aspects of pest control and broader ecological problems. This has resulted in a widening of my own skills from agricultural zoologist to include elements of economics and social science. The aim has been to provide better focussed solutions to pest and environmental management problems through a fuller understanding of the constraints that exist in the different systems. Solutions to these problems have been sought by utilising a number of different approaches ranging from the wholly scientific such as experimental trials leading to the development of models through to stakeholder engagement for the development and application of appropriate management techniques.
