Personal profile
Biography
I am interested in many areas – Entomology, Conservation, Animal Behaviour, Evolutionary Biology, Taxonomy and Systematics. My PhD research traverses several areas which includes understanding the biotic and abiotic effects on the variation in warning signals, chemical defence ecology, and confirming the taxonomy of Amata tiger moths in eastern Australia. I'm currently working on a research project that is attempting to develop a broad-spectrum probiotic to help honey bees increase resistance to common bee pathogens. I have a professional background in wildlife management (specifically in Macropods) and conservation biology (Chiroptera).
