Background

I did my undergraduate degree at the ANU. In my third year, I did a special topics course with Michael Jennions modeling the evolution of polyandry and the optimal number of mates. Over the 2008/9 summer I did a summer vacation scholarship in the J-lab.  The paper that resulted is below. In mid-2009 I started my Honours at the ANU, again with my main supervisor as  Michael Jennions.  I am studying  offspring sex ratio skew in the mosquitofish Gambusia.  I will update this page when the details of my project are confirmed...
