Chloe Heys

My research profile is broadly centred on examining behaviour, ecology and evolution within animals. I am interested to determining how small scale changes within host animals can result in large scale changes at evolutionary and ecological levels. For example, my expertise constitutes investigating host-microbiome interactions within a variety of different organisms, including insects, fish and birds. Alongside this, I examine the drivers of the illegal trade of birdlife predominantly within Indonesia and Australia, and seek to understand and mitigate the impacts at both a human and non-human animal level.
