Biographical Details
Tommy Leung is a lecturer at the University of New England in Armidale who does research on various aspects of parasitism / symbiosis, evolutionary ecology, and disease ecology. The general themes of their research and publications includes:
- The evolutionary ecology of parasites
- How parasites interact with their hosts
- Parasite life cycles and life history characteristics and their evolutionary significance
- The large-scale ecology (macroecology) of disease and parasitism
- Interactions between different parasites within the same hosts
Apart from their own research program, they are interested in most aspects of life sciences in general and writes a blog about newly published research on parasites (http://dailyparasite.blogspot.com/).
