Personal profile

Biographical Details

Paul is the head of the Animal Behaviour and Ecology Lab at UNE, a research group that looks to examine the factors underpinning behaviour using both natural and experimental assessments. Much of the lab's work focuses on bioacoustics, and our expertise extends into using this medium to assess biodiversity at sites. While much of the group works on avian research subjects, the lab works on a range of taxa.
