I have a joint position based at The University of Adelaide (Adelaide University from Janiuary 2026) where I also act as the Head of the State Herbarium of South Australia (AD) as Chief Botanist. The herbarium is part of the Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium in the Department for Environment and Water of South Australia. Through the herbarium I have a responsability to support and enhance our understanding of the flora of South Australia with a particular emphasis on systematics and taxonomy. In my broader role I am interested in the study of plant evolution. Particularly interesting is the way plants adapt to stressful of difficult environments including marine plants, desert plants and plants with specialised adaptations such as specific pollinators. My research is often at the interface between systematics and taxonomy, population genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, basic biology and molecular genetics. I believe strongly that research should have useful outcomes for the future-both as applied action supporting better management of our natural resources, as well as foundational pure basic research that might lead to innovative, inspirational and sometimes even serendipitous outcomes.My research includes a focus on the systematics of plants (especially seagrasses and related groups, monocots, sandalwood, Solanum and other arid groups). In addition, I study native plant species concepts and how to evaluate them for more effective management and the evolution of the Australian Flora. Recently, my group has progressed the ways that an application of molecular markers can be used to detect speciation or recent hybrid formation in natural populations. This is particularly important where hybrids are priming between introduced and native species leading to the loss of local distinctiveness of populations of native species.
I also lead and contribute to a diverse range of research including:
Estuarine, marine and coastal plant communities
Population dynamics (population genetics, reproductive biology, connectivity and spatial and temporal variability) including carbon sequestration (‘blue carbon’)
Documenting and analysis of trends in long-term ecosystem change - in particular for coastal plant communities (e.g. seagrasses)
Risks and threats to coastal and marine ecosystems
Climate change and drivers of ecosystem change (e.g. water quality)
Coastal ecosystem ecological function including threatened plant species
Research supporting marine parks management
Applied science for management
Science for use in policy development and community awareness
Biodiversity and human health
Knowledge management for decision making
Evidence based decision making
Science integration and communication
Plant systematics, taxonomy and evolutionary biology
New species descriptions
Evolution of the Australian flora
Management of biological collections based institutions
Molecular systematics
Applications of molecular tools in foundational botanical sciences esp. taxonomy, evolutionary and ecological genetics
I work hard to encourage research activities on the flora through student research projects, by supporting Herbarium staff to conduct research in their areas of interest and by facilitating access to the herbarium for other researcher and student use.I also act as a strategic advisor within the Department for Environment and Water on a wide range of natural resource management issues. I currently have research activities underway that aim to inform management of threatened species, restoration and to identify knowledge gaps for seagrasses and seagrass ecosystems in South Australia and Australia-wide.I contribute to teaching in the School of Biological Sciences in the Evolutionary Biology and Botany programs and take on honours, masters and PhD students as a supervisor.I am a core member of the Environment Institute, part of the leadership group of the Environmental Evolutionary Genomics initiative and have a role as a scientific advisor to the South Australian Government Scientific Advisory Panel for the Harmful Algal Bloom (2025).I have been the Chair of the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria, the President of the World Seagrass Association and currently serve on the IUCN Species Survival Commission panel for seagrasses.
