Research Interests
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. Just about all of my work is collaborative; most of my
regular research companions can be identified in my publication list.
