Perry Beasley-Hall

Dr Perry Beasley-Hall is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Adelaide’s School of Biological Sciences within the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department. Their work focuses on subterranean insects, particularly cave crickets (Rhaphidophoridae), aiming to clarify their evolutionary relationships and support conservation through systematic and molecular approaches.

Research Interests: Perry combines traditional taxonomy with molecular tools to study insect biodiversity, emphasizing subterranean ecosystems. They explore evolutionary adaptations in cave-dwelling species and advocate for underrepresented groups in STEMM through outreach activities.

Grant Highlights: While specific grants are not detailed, their fellowship supports projects on Australian cave cricket systematics and conservation.

• Scientific Awards: Australian Biological Resources Study Postdoctoral Fellowship
• Supervision: Available to mentor Honours and PhD students on topics like subterranean biodiversity and entomological systematics.
