Research interests
Currently, I undertake research through Adelaide University and Bush Heritage Australia. My research interests are typically centred in conservation and disturbance ecology. I prioritise questions related to applied outcomes for biodiversity conservation and landscape management. This work has mostly involved herpetofauna and their interactions, at community, species, and individual scales, with anthropogenic processes, including fire, landscape fragmentation, and enhanced grazing pressure.
