Rob is a Professor of Ecology at the University of Oxford and E. P. Abraham Tutorial Fellow at Pembroke College. His research integrates ecology, evolution, and demography to understand how organisms across the Tree of Life (human and non-human), populations, and ecosystems persist and recover from environmental change. Combining theory, long-term data, and quantitative models, his work has advanced demographic resilience theory, life-history evolution, and ageing biology across the tree of life.
He leads the SalGo team at Oxford and is the founder and coordinator of the global COMADRE Animal and COMPADRE Plant Matrix Databases, two open-access resources underpinning comparative demography worldwide. His research spans from field and remote-sensing studies in grasslands and forests to macroecological analyses of senescence and sociality.
Rob has been awarded major fellowships and grants from NERC, the ARC, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He serves on the steering committees of international research networks including DRAGNet, RainDrop, and PADRINO, and is a commissioning editor at the Journal of Animal Ecology. His work exemplifies a commitment to open science, global collaboration, and capacity-building—linking demography, ecology, and data science to forecast how life responds to a rapidly changing planet.
