Trosolwg

Rydw i’n ecolegydd ac yn fodelydd, ac yn canolbwyntio ar ganlyniadau’r newidiadau amgylcheddol ar fioamrywiaeth, bywyd gwyllt, rhywogaethau ymledol a’r rhyngweithio rhwng parasitiaid a’u lletywyr. Mae fy niddordebau’n cynnwys canfod atebion i gwestiynau ynghylch y ffordd y gellir defnyddio canfyddiadau o ddynameg ddemograffig ac epidemiolegol, dynameg ystod rhywogaethau a phatrymau bio-ddaearyddol i nodi prosesau allweddol ar gyfer optimeiddio ymdrechion o ran cadwraeth a rheoli plâu ac ar gyfer atal clefydau sy’n cael eu lledu dan sefyllfaoedd amgylcheddol gwahanol a chynlluniau polisi.

Diddordebau Addysgu

Mae ymdrechion addysgu Konstans yn cynnwys primyddion ecolegol a chysyniadau ar gyfer dulliau cyfrifiannol a dulliau sy’n seiliedig ar y maes er mwyn mynd i’r afael â heriau amgylcheddol byd-eang a choethi sgiliau cyflogadwyedd a dysgu yng nghwricwlwm myfyrwyr sŵoleg a bioleg.

Mae ei waith ymchwil a’i gydweithredu rhyngwladol â sefydliadau ymchwil a diwydiannol sylfaenol yn cynnig cyfleoedd i fyfyrwyr gradd ac ôl-radd fel rhan o leoliadau gwaith a phrosiectau ymchwil a oruchwylir.

BIO252 Ecological Data Analysis

This module introduces students to the basics of analyzing ecological data, using the R Software Environment for Statistical Computing. The topics covered will be also broad enough to be equally applicable to basic data analysis across biology and the skills acquired are widely transferrable for non-academic jobs. Students will receive 8 computer-based workshops/practicals of 2 hours each, complemented by 10 lectures and 11 Stats exercise and Feedback sessions before each workshop. The module will cover 5 broad key themes: 1). Data analysis and statistics, reproducibility and the R Software Environment; 2). Data management; 3). Data visualization; 4). Data analysis - The linear model; 5). Data analysis - Presentation of results and outline of more advanced methods. The module will be subject to continuous assessment consisting of 3 pieces of computer-based work (60% of final mark), which will require the students to carefully complete all course work assigned on a weekly basis ('independent learning'), in order to be able to complete the assignments. A further 40% of the final mark will consist in a data analysis report, to be completed after the end of the course. Weekly readings and non-assessed computer-based exercises will be assigned, too.
BIOM12 Biodiversity and Health Ecology

Biodiversity & Health Ecology emerges as a new interdisciplinary research field at the intersection of humans, animals and ecosystems. It acknowledges that the spread of infectious diseases and pollutants in time of global changes strongly links health issues across organisms and ecosystems. Understanding and controlling Emerging Infectious Diseases (e.g. SARS, Ebola and Nipah virus) requires interdisciplinary and holistic concepts and approaches that account for human and animal interactions in all kind of natural and anthropogenic environments. This module addresses contemporary topics in the field of One Health from an ecological perspective and in context of changing biodiversity. It introduces background information and essential tools for environmental biologists, disease ecologists and resource managers to take part in tackling this global challenge. Through participation in this module you will develop the foundations to engage in research in this field.
