Biography
My research and teaching interests focus on biodiversity: what's out there, how we discover and describe it, how it arises and adapts through time, and how we can conserve it.
I'm very interested in surveys and monitoring of biodiversity, with a particular focus on rare and threatened species, and discovering species new to science. I am also an expert in research on how species form and have a particular interest in rapid adaptation, including to human-induced change like climate change, invasive species, and disease.
Amongst all this, my projects are centred on conservation. This includes surveys and monitoring of threatened species, species assessments for listing threatened and recovering species, assessment and management of threats to wildlife populations, wild-to-wild translocations, captive breeding, and conservation genetics projects.
My research methods include field data, lab data, genetics, and modelling. My research is generally on frogs, lizards and mammals but I'm interested in all biodiversity, including the conservation of whole communities and regions. My interests scale local to global, with projects at all levels.
My teaching reflects my research, with a focus on the biodiversity we have, how it forms and adapts, how it interacts, and how we can conserve it. My core areas of teaching are vertebrate biodiversity, wildlife ecology and management, and genetics and adaptation.
