Amy Annells

Amy Annells is a Casual Academic and PhD student at Flinders University's College of Science and Engineering, affiliated with the Flinders Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology. Her part-time role involves interdisciplinary research at the intersection of ecology, acoustics, and sustainable land management.

Her research explores:

• Soil biodiversity monitoring using acoustic technology
• Sound-induced activation of plant-growth-promoting fungi
• Applications in ecological restoration and sustainable agriculture
• Soil fauna responses to auditory stimuli
• Biosecurity implications for viticulture and land management

Recent publications demonstrate innovative approaches to ecosystem monitoring and restoration. Her 2024 articles in Biology Letters and Proceedings of the Royal Society B establish methodologies for acoustic soil assessment and sonic stimulation of beneficial microorganisms.

She collaborates with researchers including Jake M. Robinson and Martin F. Breed on projects advancing ecoacoustic applications in environmental science.
