Nigel is a Professor of Entomology at UNE, and Editor-in-Chief of Austral Ecology: A Journal of Ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. His research has a current focus on identifying if behavioural, ecological and physiological traits of insect species are predictable and repeatable, and whether these traits can then be scaled up to predict changes within and between ecological communities: this is fundamental to understanding biotic adaptations to a rapidly changing climate. Nigel has a reputation for carrying out quality research and integrating a range of disciplines (particularly ecology, behaviour and physiology) into his publications, and this attracts both national and international collaborations.
