I am a field ecologist with strong interest in the management of wildlife populations. I spend a lot of time doing field research with rare and endangered species, as well as vertebrate pests such as introduced rats and mice for both conservation and management outcomes. My study sites range from cereal crop fields, to desert, rainforests and offshore islands in Australia and Asia. My research projects are in conservation biology, ecology of mammals, behavioural ecology of vertebrates, and predator-prey relationships in vertebrates.
