Based at University of Technology Sydney, our research focuses on species ecology and biogeography, using advanced statistical methods and modelling to examine how species and communities interact with their environments across spatial and temporal scales.
New paper out 🐨🌱

SA koala densities are exceeding habitat capacity conservation priorities.

Modelling 25 years of pop growth, hab. suitability, and fertility control strategies, we found: 1) Pop growth projected at +17–25% w/out action, 2) Adult female fertility control most cost effective option.

New blog post:
“My gap year between Honours and PhD” ✨🌊

Not always a straight path and that’s okay. If you’re thinking about taking time off between study stages, or wondering what it might look like:

@fredsaltre.bsky.social worked with Year 5–6 students in Adelaide ont how #ClimateChange, #LandClearing, and #InvasiveSpecies affect animals distributions and survival. 🌱🌏

Big thanks to the amazing teacher who made this happen.💚

🎓 Always a joy to celebrate achievements, but even more special when it’s your students!

Big congrats to Elise Beaumont, Lavinia Stokes & Will Perkins on graduating to #Honours!

Our new research shows northern #Australia’s monsoon #rainfall over 150,000 years was shaped by sea level shifts + coastal proximity, often out of phase with the East Asian #monsoon.

Attended the @aciucn.bsky.social Species Survival Symposium. 🌧️ Weather aside, it was brilliant to reconnect, share research cross-sectors, and listen to #FirstNations, backing their leadership in healing Country.
