My
name is Tom Fayle. I am an ecologist, with interests in community ecology,
conservation biology and behavioural ecology. My work focuses on tropical
ants, but I also study a range of other groups. I currently hold postdoctoral
positions at the University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic and Imperial
College London, UK. My fieldwork takes me to Malaysian Borneo and Papua
New Guinea. |
