- biodiversity, with special reference to cultivated land
- bionomics, behaviour and ecology of beneficial arthropods (ground beetles, spiders, hover flies)
- ecology of cultivated habitats, esp. pesticide-free and organic cultivation systems
- invasion ecology; interactions between invaders and native species
