We use information from genetics and genomics to address pure and applied research questions in population, conservation and evolutionary biology.
Our emphasis is on aquatic animals (particularly fishes, marine mammals and invertebrates) – but we also enjoy working with terrestrial organisms!
We do fieldwork in Australia and in other regions of the world including Amazonia, Patagonia, Gulf of California, southern Africa, Pampas, Cerrado, Galapagos, Indo-Pacific and Antarctica.

A rigid hull 6.8m Gemini inflatable boat for use in both inshore and offshore waters was recently acquired by Flinders University for our marine science program. The boat has twin four-stroke 80hp and is fully equipped for marine research. It will be used by our lab for collection of biopsy samples from cetaceans, and for accessing field sites for several of our MEGMAR projects.
