Dr Jimena Rodriguez-Zarate
Dr Jimena Rodriguez-Zarate PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray & Dr L Moller My interests are in the areas of ecology, population genetics and wildlife conservation. I am interested in research that can be successfully incorporated into conservation practices of endangered species. I am currently interested in the integration of biological, ecological and genetic data to […]
Dr Jonathan Sandoval-Castillo
Dr Jonathan Sandoval-Castillo I am a Research Fellow in the Molecular Ecology Lab at Flinders University (MELFU). My research integrates genomics and ecology to understand how organisms respond to environmental change, including human impacts, with direct applications to biodiversity conservation and management. I completed my PhD in Biological Sciences at Macquarie University in 2012 and […]
Dr Kim Shaddick
Dr Kim Shaddick PhD supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray, Dr D Gilligan (DPI NSW) & Prof D Briscoe (Macquarie) Kim completed her PhD in the lab in 2011, working on the phylogeography, conservation genetics and management of Australian Bass and Estuary Perch in southeastern Australia. This was part of an ARC Linkage project based in the […]
Dr Joanna Wiszniewski
Dr Joanna Wiszniewski PhD supervisors: Dr L Moller & Prof L Beheregaray Broadly, my research interest focuses on behavioural ecology, population genetics and conservation biology. I am particularly interested in the social behaviour and male mating strategies of marine mammals and the evolutionary processes that shape population structure of these species. My post-doc project at […]
Dr Nikki Zanardo
Dr Nikki Zanardo PhD supervisors: A/Prof Luciana Möller and Dr Guido Parra I have always been quite fond of nature and at a young age I developed a strong passion for marine mammals. I believe that this can be attributed to growing up in Adelaide, with the Port River dolphins in such close reach. It is this passion that […]
Dr Emily Booth
Emily Booth Honours supervisors: Prof L Beheregaray; Dr C Brauer and Dr J Sandoval-Castillo As a young child, I loved watching nature documentaries and learning about the vast amount of biodiversity on Earth. This passion developed into a life-long ambition to conserve species and minimise anthropogenic impacts such as climate change. I joined the Molecular […]
