Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO

Dr. McInerney is an ecosystem ecologist with principal interests in food webs, freshwater community ecology, biological invasions, and biological responses to climate change. Dr. McInerney’s research focus areas include how energy flow in ecosystems may be influenced by biotic and abiotic disturbances or by anthropogenic interventions, and how invasive species modify structure and function within freshwater ecosystems.
