Rowan likes discovering why animals occur where they do and why. He uses tiny tracking devices to follow the movements of birds to learn what features of their habitats they rely on most. Rowan is currently using his skills to unlock the secrets of waterbirds in South Australia's iconic Coorong wetland as part of the Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin project.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Thomas is a quantitative ecologist with a particular interest in understanding and forecasting the dynamics of wildlife populations, and informing the management of threatened species. Thomas uses data and models to address applied ecological questions in the fields of wildlife management, fisheries, conservation biology and disease ecology. Very occasionally he is sighted doing fieldwork.
Stephanie is assisting in data management and analysis of the wildlife trade.
Adam is using automated data collection methods to investigate links between the online wildlife trade and the introduction of alien species in Australia.

Katie is adapting and creating forensic technologies to trace the origins of animals in illegal wildlife trade.
Meryl is testing and developing occupancy and abundance models for multispecies camera trap surveys. This knowledge will be applied to a mammal community assessment to understand local-scale trade-offs between biodiversity and carbon preservation in tropical Southeast Asia.
(Co-supervised by Associate Professor Joshua Vincent Ross)
Freyja is analysing wildlife trafficking and crime in Southeast Asia.
(Co-supervised by Dr Timo Dietrich & Prof Lian Pin Koh)
Matt Bowie is researching how human behaviour change theory and tools can be applied to conserve biodiversity with a focus on sustainable coffee.
(Co-supervised by Professor Ivan Nagelkerken)
Shannon is researching human vs climate change effects on estuarine fish and shellfish communities and productivity.
Charlie is investigating the online trade of invertebrates within Australia. This research focuses on potential biosecurity threats and conservation issues related to the trade.
Ashley is investigating the effect of trust in driving the expediency of illicit live animal sales on Australian e-commerce. This research focuses on social factors that drive supply and demand of illicit bird sales and the sanctioning of crime.
