Professor Alistair Poore is Head of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. He has research interests in ecology and evolutionary biology, with a focus on coastal marine ecosystems.
Qualifications
- PhD, University of New South Wales, 1999
- Bsc(Hons), Monash University 1992
Research Activities
Details of research projects can be found at https://alistairpoore.org/
My research focuses on the ecology and evolution of interactions among marine organisms, in particular benthic invertebrates and algae. My current research projects involve:
- the impacts of herbivores on plant communities
- the ecology and evolution of host choice in marine herbivores
- human impacts to coastal marine ecosystems
- adaptation of marine organisms to environmental stress
- use of citizen science data for biodiversity monitoring
