Sally Keith

I am a Senior Lecturer in Marine Biology in Lancaster Environment Centre and a member of the Data Science Institute at Lancaster University in the UK. After completing a MSc on Primate Conservation and a PhD at Bournemouth Uni in the UK on plants and intertidal invertebrates, I moved to the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, at James Cook University, Australia as a Postdoctoral Fellow and turned my focus towards coral reefs. Three years later, I moved to the Centre for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate, at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark as an Assistant Professor for 3.5 years using coral reefs to understand the diversity and distribution of life on Earth where I was awarded a Villum Foundation Young Investigator Grant. This funding kick started what is now my major project on the role for species interactions and animal behaviour in mediating ecological patterns at larger spatial scales, using Indo-Pacific butterflyfishes as a model system.
