Pauline Lenancker

I am a researcher in entomology and applied pest management for Sugar Research Australia in Mackay where I study insect pests of sugarcane. During my PhD at James Cook University and CSIRO Health and Biosecurity, I studied the genetic, behavioural and ecological factors limiting the success of invasive tropical fire ants and yellow crazy ants in Northern Australia. I am interested in pest management, the ecology and population genetics of invasive species, biosecurity, and reproductive biology.
