Philip Pugh

Philip Pugh is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Anglia Ruskin University, specializing in Life Sciences. He has extensive experience in Antarctic biogeography, cladistics, and multivariate analysis, with a focus on biodiversity and environmental biology. His teaching includes the BSc (Hons) Marine Biology with Biodiversity and Conservation course.

• BSc Zoology, University of Wales Swansea, 1980
• PhD Marine Biology, University of Wales Swansea, 1985
• PGCE Biology with Integrated Science, University of Cambridge, 1988

Philip's research spans Antarctic biogeography, cladistics, and multivariate analysis. He investigates the origins of Antarctic fauna, human impacts on ecosystems, and develops computational methods for biogeography. His work integrates ecological modeling, taxonomy, and conservation biology.

Recent research trends include Antarctic ecology, biodiversity analysis using multivariate techniques, and the ecological consequences of climate change and tourism. His publications address topics like tardigrade population dynamics, seabird entanglement, and land snail evolution in sub-Antarctic regions.

• Fellow, Linnean Society of London
