  • Violeta is a PhD candidate interested in socio-ecological ecosystems and the way humans impact natural environments and biodiversity in these landscapes. She is pursuing questions around the ways humans benefit from nature under the current pressures of rapid urbanisation and climate change, with a special focus in countries of the Global South. She is also working as a Senior Research Technician for the Translate project led by Tatsuya Amano, where they are seeking to understand how language barriers impede the application of science in conservation decision making and to assess the importance of scientific knowledge that is available in non-English languages. Before starting these two projects, she graduated with a BSc Environmental Engineering in Paraguay and a masters of Urban and Regional Planning at UQ.

  • Marina decided they wanted to be a Zoologist at the age of 7, so, when they were old enough, they moved away from their home town near Barcelona, in Catalunya, to go study in the UK at University College London. During their degree, they also studied abroad at UQ and, after graduating with a Masters in Biological Sciences (Zoology), they are now back to Australia as a PhD Candidate under the supervision of Dr Tatsuya Amano and Prof Richard Fuller. Marina hopes to uncover the current state of international environmental agreements and legislation around migratory bird protection worldwide. They are also interested in the effect of language barriers in Science, particularly on international migratory bird agreements across the world.

  • Ed is a PhD student working on global governance for conserving migratory shorebirds under the supervision of Rich Fuller, Tiffany Morrison, and Salit Kark. Migratory species often require vast areas spanning multiple countries to complete their life cycle. In this context, various transnational institutional arrangements have emerged with relevance to their conservation. Shorebirds in Asia-Pacific, a region that has become to be known as the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, migrate across 22 countries. Despite the existence of an international policy framework for their conservation, their populations have continued to decline. Hence, appraising the effectiveness of such arrangements is paramount to inform conservation policy and practice. I am particularly interested in understanding the implementation of bilateral agreements, the role of non-state actors, and the performance of institutional arrangements on the ground.

  • Chantelle Derez is a PhD candidate researching nuisance wildlife in urban areas and the impact of relocation as a management outcome. Many animals living in urban environments are considered nuisances and are relocated to new areas. This management technique is deemed successful if the animal does not return to the point of capture; however, the impact on the relocated animal is often unknown. A key focus of Chantelle’s PhD involves the long-term radio-tracking of resident and relocated carpet pythons to understand how urban pythons respond to relocation. Chantelle also holds an Honours degree in lizard behaviour from Flinders University and an MSc in Conservation Science from UQ, where she described a new species of snake in tropical Queensland.

  • Anna is a visiting postdoctoral research fellow at the Fuller Lab, employed at Lund University, Sweden. Her research background is in landscape ecology and conservation biology, with a focus on pollinators in farmland landscapes. Her ongoing project is financed by the Swedish Research Council FORMAS, and focuses on how structure and quality of the urban environment affect two important groups of pollinating insects: native bees and hoverflies, and if any effects on pollinators translate into effects on pollination. The aim is to contribute to a scientific and evidence based foundation for planning of (ecologically) sustainable cities and to help maintain biodiversity of plant, pollinators and an important ecosystem service, in urban environments.

  • My studies in the Bachelor of Environmental Science have given me an appreciation for the interconnectedness of the natural world. Numerous soil science subjects have instilled in me an understanding of how fundamental soil is. Yet my passion lies with plants, people’s connection with nature, and the bigger picture. I found myself very interested in elective courses about sustainable development and holistic management of Earth’s ecosystem.

    My interests culminated in my Honours thesis about the equity of the greenery in Brisbane. I discovered that some people have more greenery around them than others, that this wasn’t improving over time. To me, this is concerning due to the implications for people’s wellbeing and level of environmental concern in urban settings. So now I’m becoming a certified practitioner of Forest Therapy (Shinrin-yoku). I guide people to connect with nature and mindfully tune in to their senses to boost their health and wellbeing.”

  • Narelle has a dual degree from UQ in Science and Arts, majoring in Ancient History, English and Zoology. After graduation she received a scholarship from the University of Lausanne to research the impacts that conservation management practices were having on offspring fitness and sexual selection of the endemic whitefish. For her Honours project she is focusing on intertidal mudflats throughout the East Asian-Australasian Flyway; these habitats are critical sites for Australia’s migratory shorebirds, which have been experiencing rapid population declines in recent years. Due to the phenomenal distances that these birds migrate, it is internationally important to assess whether the protective mechanisms we have in place (protected areas, their designations, and management) are effective in minimising habitat and, thus, population loss.

    Narelle is also an executive board member for the Society for Conservation Biology’s UQ-Brisbane chapter and Brisbane’s Presentations Coordinator for the Australian Marine Conservation Society.

  • Elizabeth is a postdoctoral research assistant based at University College London, working in Prof Georgina Mace’s lab.
