Honorary Visiting Fellow
Research Focus
Leaf-litter natural history (Ecology) of Conidiobolus and Basidiobolus species
Scientific Activities
Review in progress of > 30 years of Conidiobolus and Basidiobolus, at Keele University Plantations, in relation to habitat, season and invertebrate vectors. Also, a review of data on invertebrate visitors to buried pregrown baits of target fungi and others. Current fieldwork uses habitats at Beeston Castle, Cheshire (Keele habitats have been 'clear-felled' and are no longer available). Burial bait experimenrs continue and the ability of litter particles to enhance life-cycle stages as alternatives to globose conidia are in progress. The overall aim is to explore the interactions of the target species and the invertebrate fauna
