Welcome to Phil Lester's home page.
I'm a lecturer here at Victoria University of Wellington, in New Zealand. My research interests are in invasive species ecology, particularly with insects such as ants. I have graduate students working in such projects around the Pacific region.
I teach in a variety of courses. My primary undergraduate teaching is in the 1st year course "Biology of Animals", though I have lectures in 2nd and 3rd year papers as well.
You'll find more information than you probably want by navigating the buttons to the left. You'll also see a bunch of my insect photographs and PDF files of publications. If you want to contact me regarding any of this, my details are:
