PhD Candidate @EcoEvo_ANU | nutritional ecology | studying effects of bushfire on eucalypt nutrition and koala movements in a fire affected landscape (she/her)
Canberra
Joined September 2022
My second PhD publication is out! We asked: do captive rehabilitated koalas choose to feed on the epicormic growth of different eucalypt species in care? (hint: see pic below) https://t.co/YoEUzUvGCE

My first PhD chapter is published!! Very grateful for the amazing vets, ecologists and researchers that I got to work with on this! We learnt some cool stuff about resident and rehabilitated koalas following the 2019-20 megafires 🐨🍃 https://t.co/mLugB7yrvp

The nutritional ecology group is looking for two motivated field ecologists and two field assistants to work on an exciting project investigating the nutritional quality of koala habitat across NSW. Field Ecologist https://t.co/Z7XQ3qLyga, Field Assistant

Fascinating presentation by Dr Karen Marsh about the effect of fire on nutritional value of foliage to koalas. Epicormic growth of symphiomyrtles (gums, boxes, ironbarks) had higher protein = more nutritious. #koalaconference

Australia has so many amazing ecologists, biologists and conservation scientists. So good to see a bunch of them get together and launch the Biodiversity Council. Looking forward to seeing their work. https://t.co/wsYd0FoDKX

My first foray into remote DSLR camera trapping. This pair of boodies were more than happy to investigate the weird new equipment near their house. On the left is the adult offspring of the female (right) but still hangs out with his mum even though she has a new baby on the way.

Greater Stick-nest #Rat capture rates increase at #MtGibsonWildlifeSanctuary! Trap saturation for generalised surveys at Mt Gibson is usually mostly Woylies, but evolving trapping methodologies have greatly improved our #data robustness for this species.🙌🐀 📷J Hungerford/#AWC

Spot the beautiful southern greater glider (Petauroides volans) we saw while spotlighting in Tallaganda National Park 👀👀

Australia has become known for having more animals going extinct than most places in the world, and there is now another species facing an uncertain future. The cute little Greater Gliders. #TheProjectTV

Our new paper published in Australian Mammalogy looks at the influence of habitat on the movement of the endangered #northernquoll (marlarlparra - Nyamal language) in the #Pilbara. https://t.co/VPFyWMxI5h

To effectively conserve species, we must have a good understanding of the habitats that they use or avoid. We investigated the habitat use of the endangere

Wouldn’t think that my first conference and poster submission would be in my first year of undergrad but here I am at #AMSPerth22 - Thank you to Wandandian Kangaroo and Wallaby Rehabilitation centre, @WRSCinc and @hjstannard for all your help. @CharlesSturtUni
