To do this we:
- Collect field data from sites in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas
- Apply and develop statistical methods to gain insight from these data
- Use these insights to develop new theory and to devise conservation and management strategies
We publish our work in the scientific literature, and sometimes get coverage in the national media. Publications of each group member can be found on their own pages, but recent highlights are:
Ozgul A, Tuljapurkar S, Benton TG, Pemberton JM, Clutton-Brock TH, Coulson T (2009) The dynamics of phenotypic change and the shrinking sheep of St. Kilda. Science 325: 464-467
Malo AF, Coulson T (2009) Heterozygosity-fitness correlations and associative overdominance: new detection method and proof of principle in the Iberian wild boar. Molecular Ecology 18 (13): 2741-2
Currently SLAPPED consists of Tim Coulson (Professor of Population Biology), Aurelio Malo (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), Arpat Ozgul (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), Isabel Smallegange (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), Tom Hart (PhD thesis submitted), Joe Smith (PhD thesis submitted), Patrick Aust (PhD thesis submitted), Christos Mammedes (PhD student), Anna Songhurst (PhD student), Kevin Wallace (PhD student), Norman George (PhD student), Tola Oni (PhD student) and Harry Marshall (PhD student). Details for former group members are also available.
