I am primarily interested in ecological processes, the effects of human landscape change on ecosystems, and bees. My PhD project with the Mayfield lab focuses mainly on the effects of habitat fragmentation on pollinator communities in the Australian wet tropics. I am also examining how plant-pollinator interactions are impacted by landscape context, rainforest fragment size, and the habitats in the matrix surrounding rainforest patches. Since completing my undergraduate degree at the University of Tasmania I have been involved with a range of flora-focused projects, covering a range of vegetation communities in Tasmania. I joined the Mayfield lab and the University of Queensland at the beginning of 2009.
