Postgraduate Research and Advisory Work

Over 30 years experience in pure and applied aspects of insect morphology, insect taxonomy, insect ecology and behaviour, pest control, crop protection and pesticide science:

• 1966-69. Morphology and taxonomy of beetles (Coleoptera); structural, chemical and behavioural defense mechanisms of beetles against natural predators.

• 1969-80. Pest control in horticultural crops (top fruit and soft fruit); improving insect pollination and yield in fruit and vegetable crops; modelling the forage patterns of insect pollinators.

• 1978-95. Management of several long-term initiatives (10+ years) for the AFRC/BBSRC, plus numerous short-term commissions (1-5 years) from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU), the European Commission (EC) and various Agrochemical Companies (e.g. ICI, BASF, Dutzi), on pest control and the efficacy of pesticide use in cereals and other arable crops; biology and control of aphid vectors of cereal viruses; modelling and forecasting aphid-virus outbreaks and their effects on crop yield (1978-90); integrated pest management in less intensive arable farming systems and in renewable energy (biomass) crops; landscape, habitat and crop management for pest control and conservation in farmland; modelling insect dispersal in fragmented landscapes; environmental and ecological effects of pesticides (1990-95).

Expert Witness Instructions

1995-2008. Expert Witness Instructions (averaging 3-4 instructions per year) involving cases of professional negligence in pesticide use and other problems concerning agricultural, industrial and domestic pest control, including compliance to health and safety legislation. These instructions have required preliminary scientific and technical advice, inspection and analysis, provision of expert opinion, preparation of reports, conferences with council and attendance at trial.

Oral Presentation & Teaching Experience

Over 30 years experience in oral presentation of scientific data and research findings to the general public, growers, farmers and other members of Horticultural and Agricultural Groups and Cooperatives, and to fellow scientists at meetings of learned Societies, Conferences and International Symposia in the UK and abroad. Involved for more than 15 years as a Lecturer, Examiner and Supervisor of undergraduate and postgraduate students:

• 1980-85. Examiner in GCE O-Level Biology for the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate.

• 1980-95. Lecturer in crop protection and pest management to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Bristol and the University of Bath, including examination and marking of scripts.

• 1985-95. Supervision of MSc and PhD student research projects. Internal and external examiner of post-graduate research theses for the degrees of MSc and PhD.

• 1996-present. Examiner in GCE/GCSE O-Level Biology for the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate.

Editorial Work & Publications

Several requests per year to referee and/or edit scientific manuscripts and research proposals for scientific journals (e.g. Annals of Applied Biology, Journal of Plant Pathology, Journal of Applied Ecology), publishers (e.g. Cambridge University Press, Blackwell Scientific Publications, British Crop protection Council) and research organisations (e.g. BBSRC and the Natural Environment Research Council). Publications include numerous technical reports commissioned by UK Government Departments (MAFF, DTI, ETSU), the European Commission (EC), Agrochemical Companies and the Legal Profession; and over 200 papers, chapters and articles in scientific journals, books, conference proceedings and popular agricultural magazines (see below).
