Research Interests

My research is comparing the phylogeographic structure of three commercially and recreationally important species of Arripis (Australian herring and western and eastern Australian salmon).  The resultant information, based on a mitochondrial DNA marker, will be used to infer aspects of the origins and evolutionary histories of the Australian populations of these species.  The research is significant because it will generate some of the first information about the phylogeography of geminate species on the east and west coasts of Australia (of which there are many) and of closely-related species of marine fish with sympatric distributions.
