Jenna Crowe-Riddell
School of Biological Sciences
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.
Jenna's research focuses on the evolution of cutaneous senses in sea snakes. Her research takes integrative approaches to understand the evolution of complex sensory traits. She completed her PhD in 2019, focusing on two major sensory systems mediated by the skin: the sense of touch (mechanoreception) and the rare ability to sense light in the skin (dermal photoreception).
