Wildlife ecologist @ Australian Wildlife Conservancy. Interested in ecological modelling, reptiles and understanding the effects of large disturbances like land clearing, invasive species, fire and climate change on wildlife. Views are my own.
Some pics from helping Josh Fastuca, set up field sites for his honours research. Josh will be using a variety of methods to assess the effect of cats, foxes and rabbits on herpetofauna.

Carrying around tin and tiles brought back repressed memories from my PhD 😆 Excited to see what Josh finds!
