Guy Ballard is a Principal Research Scientist and Research Leader - Predator Management with NSW DPIRD. He also leads the PEST Research Group at the University of New England. Guy works on the ecology and management of dingoes, foxes, feral cats and spotted-tailed quolls.

Annalie is a Research Fellow at the University of New England investigating feral cat population monitoring.

I am a research scientist with more than 20 years of experience working for Queensland Government in the area of Biosecurity and preparedness

Tyler is a post graduate student studying a Masters of ecology at Latrobe university. With a background in zoology and ecology, his current research looks into the composition of urban seedbanks and the efficiency of recycled capping substrates for suppressing weeds.

Jamie is a Masters student at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University. They are interested in researching conservation and invasive species management.

I have experience and skill base in enriching plot data to support site-scaled assessments of vegetation condition, blending bioinformatics and ecological modelling to inform biodiversity and conservation policies to meet nature-positive targets

Dr Rishab Pillai is a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantitative Morphology Group at the University of Adelaide. His research interests lie in the functional morphology of vertebrates and their ecological interactions. Rishab’s current work focuses on understanding the ecological factors that drive morphological evolution in invasive species.

Kristy is a plant ecologist with a focus on applied research. She current work explores the impacts of an invasive pathogen species on wet sclerophyll and rainforest communities.

Joanne is Wildlife Health Australia’s Capacity Building Program Manager and is a graduate of Flinders University with a Doctorate and master’s degree in public health, and over twenty years of experience in the (human) health sector. Joanne’s work with Wildlife Health Australia focuses on working with people in feral animal disease surveillance and management and raising awareness of how feral animals are a One Health issue; building connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations and wildlife rehabilitators.

I am an ecologist living and working in Gimuy Country (Cairns ), Australia. Broadly, my research interests lie in the reproductive ecology and biology of plants, plant-animal interactions (largely insect pollinator networks), the biogeography and evolutionary ecology of plants. For my PhD research I investigated how biotic interactions influence the spread and success of invasive species.
