Shirley Lim S.L., PhD

 My laboratory’s primary research thrusts are in the examination of ecological principles (e.g., optimal foraging, habitat adaptations, predator-prey interactions, niche partitioning) in wetland and coastal regions. Extensive field studies on semi-terrestrial crabs and littorinid snails have been carried out by my research team at two off-shore islands (e.g., Pulau Hantu, and Tanjung Chek Jawa on Pulau Ubin), as well as at other coastal sites on mainland Singapore (e.g., sandy and mangrove shores along East Coast, Pasir Ris, Changi and Lim Chu Kang).
