Postdoc at FRB-CESAB. I use ecological models to predict the impacts of environmental change and management strategies on wildlife populations. Currently working on small carnivores in the DISCAR project.

The latest paper from the DISCAR synthesis group is out at Ecology Letters! We discuss the key approaches to predicting human impacts on wildlife populations, highlighting avenues for incorporating indirect effects, such as energetic modelling. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

🧪 Science Spotlight 🧪 Researchers have successfully reintroduced brush-tailed bettongs into a National Park, despite the presence of feral predators like cats and foxes.
Bettongs sourced from populations with larger body sizes and previous predator exposure survived better.
