Studying the distribution, ecology, sampling and management pests of agricultural concern. Projects include: Improving the sampling strategies for detection of pests of bulk stored gain; determining driving factors for rodent damage in Northern Queensland macadamia orchards; assessing the use of community reported data to discover the environmental drivers of wild rabbit distributions Wild rabbit disease dynamics – Spatially explicit modelling of wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) populations and disease dynamics. Exploring the dynamics of range expansions using novel quantitative tools. Range expansions are a fundamental process that invasive species undergo, however understanding, analysing and predicting range expansions across real landscapes presents enormous challenges. In this project, an Approximate Bayesian Computational approach is being used to analyse and predict the future expansions of a range of organisms including cane toads and Black Pine.
