 St Andrews University and a Royal Society Universi
 ty Research Fellow. He has published 76 internatio
 nal research papers since his PhD in 1993\, at Edi

 rey\, their fitness\, population dynamics and larg
 er scale community effects. He was a NERC Research
  Fellow at Glasgow University investigating whethe
 r individual animals are always good competitors (

 h.
