Jane Hill

Jane Hill is a Professor of Ecology at the University of York. Her research interests focus on the effects of habitat degradation and climate change on biodiversity (with particular emphasis on temperate and tropical insects). Her lab is studying climate-driven range shifts of species, and the factors affecting species’ ability to respond and adapt to climate and habitat changes.

We are also exploring potential methods for promoting adaptation of biodiversity to climate warming by improving habitat connectivity, and investigating methods for conserving biodiversity in tropical habitats, including logged forests and oil palm plantations.
