I am a molecular ecologist who works on lizards in the sub-family Tiliquini - investigating sociality and host parasite interactions with genes and genomics.

Are you a student looking for a PhD? I have a funded PhD project on investigating the season of grazing and pygmy bluetongues in South Australia. Please contact me if interested. @AusSocHerp

First of our lizard signs funded by Electranet has been installed! These will be at the entrances to the long term sleepy lizard site, started by C. Michael Bull, surveyed continuously since 1982. Very grateful that an energy company cared enough to make this happen. @GerrutN
