Dr. Adam Toomes is a Postdoc Research Fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Adelaide. He is affiliated with the Benham building on North Terrace campus and can be reached via email at adam.toomes@adelaide.edu.au. His research focuses on understanding the dynamics and risks of wildlife trade, particularly involving invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, and birds, with an emphasis on biosecurity, invasive species management, and policy interventions.
Key research interests include monitoring online and dark web wildlife trade networks, predicting species vulnerability in pet markets, and evaluating legislative frameworks to prevent ecological harm. He has contributed to studies on the global terrestrial invertebrate trade, Australia’s illegal pet trade risks, and forecasting biological invasions. His work integrates multi-omics analysis, socio-economic modeling, and policy analysis to address conservation challenges.
Recent articles highlight his focus on untangling Australia’s terrestrial invertebrate trade dynamics, assessing reptile smuggling trends linked to legal markets, and advocating for EU wildlife trade reforms. His research also explores the intersection of e-commerce platforms with illegal wildlife transactions, emphasizing tools for surveillance and intervention.
