个人简介

I completed my BSc at Sydney University in 1992, after which followed more travelling, a stint as an environmental educator in a zoo and the completion of a Diploma in Education through Charles Sturt University in 1996. My PhD was completed in 2003 and involved reptiles, population genetics and conservation issues. This was carried out at Macquarie University, under the supervision of David Briscoe and Paul Sunnucks.

研究领域

Conservation Biology

My research is directed towards three broad themes, conservation genetics, evolutionary processes and molecular ecology and most projects contain elements from each of these. During my career in biology I have focused my attention on animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate in both marine and terrestrial environments. I have found molecular markers to be invaluable tools and I apply their use to most of my questions. Interests in marine biology include genetic structuring and dispersal patterns in sharks, including grey nurse shark and gummy sharks along with work on the Australian Sealion. Research themes in the terrestrial environment include functional genomics and behavioural ecology, antimicrobial defense and the evolution of sociality and climate change and conservation in Australia's arid regions. Terrestrial organisms studied include numerous species of reptile, a few mammals and birds and several invertebrate taxa including beetles, wasps, bees and thrips.
