About
Biography
Dr Ross Dwyer is a researcher and lecturer in animal ecology at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Originally from Scotland, Ross moved to Australia in 2011 where he continued his research into the environmental and physiological drivers for movement and space utilisation among animals, particularly aquatic vertebrates.
Research
Dr Dwyer's research is primarily field-based, where he uses a range of emergent technologies (including satellite and acoustic telemetry) to gain new insights into how animals move and interact within their natural environment.
His current research includes quantifying the effectiveness of MPAs for sharks and rays, determining environmental flow requirements for fish and turtles in regulated river systems, and understanding the movements and social behaviour of estuarine crocodiles.
The underlying emphasis and direction of his research program is to understand the mechanisms driving habitat selection and migration in animals, where the information gained can help identify and mitigate human-wildlife conflict.
