Research & Supervision Interests

Paul's research mainly concerns how the population biology, ecology and evolution of Australian native wildlife is impacted by human-induced changes to environments. He works with many excellent collaborators on a broad array of natural animal systems, spanning many vertebrate and invertebrate groups. Research methods include ecological genomics, molecular ecology, field biology. Research systems include bush birds, freshwater fish, arid zone fish and invertebrates, log-dwelling forest invertebrates, mammals.
