College of Sciences
I’m a conservation ecologist who likes thinking about the processes that shape wildlife populations. This takes my research into diverse fields covering wildlife demography, movement and dispersal, genetics, disease, harvesting, and climate change. To address applied questions in conservation biology and wildlife management, I combine field studies—such as capture-mark-recapture monitoring, GPS and PIT-based animal tracking, and eDNA-based diet analysis—with a range of modelling approaches. I lead the Wildscapes Lab (https://www.wildscapeslab.org) within the School of Biological Sciences — please see my website for details of current research and PhD, Masters and Honours research opportunities.
