Funding

My funded research varies from applied conservation in light pollution (e.g. The impact of light pollution on moths, and The impact of vehicle headlights ), to more theoretical camouflage-environment interaction ( Camouflage & the light environment ), to far more blue-sky research into motion vision and its role in defence ( Motion confusion in butterflies and Motion illusion for defence ). I have secured funding from a wide range of agencies:
