Dr Tom Fayle
Senior Lecturer in Ecology
School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences
Queen Mary University of London
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Network ecology, Big data, Ant-plant interactions, Tropical ecology
Interests
I am an ecologist, with interests in community ecology, conservation biology and behavioural ecology. I study how interactions between species build up to form networks, and the manner in which those networks then respond to variation in the environment.Publications
