Joseph Tomkins

I have an Honours degree in Zoology from the University of Sheffield, and a PhD from the University of Liverpool. I have had Research Fellowships in Australia and the UK. In the UK I spent 2000-2005 at the University of St Andrews and one year at the University of Exeter. At the University of Western Australia I was employed on fellowships from 1997 - 2000 and again from 2005 to 2011. I was an ARC Future Fellow from 2011-2015.

Research Committee Member.

My Future Fellowship Research was on the evolution of threshold traits and covered traits as diverse as mate-choice and polyandry to the spread of disease by ticks. This research is ongoing.

I have received ARC funding (starting 2017) to develop an empirical understanding of anisogamy. I am intrested in a breadth of subjects mostly centred around sexual selection, mutations and threshold evolution.
