معرفی
Emily Roycroft is an ARC DECRA Research Fellow at the Research School of Biology, Australian National University. Her research focuses on evolutionary, ecological, and demographic histories of species, particularly Australian mammals and reptiles. She employs genomics to study molecular evolution, historical biogeography, and conservation genetics, with a special emphasis on leveraging museum collections to understand biodiversity loss. Roycroft collaborates extensively with institutions like Monash University and leads projects addressing species decline and genetic rescue strategies.
Her work integrates interdisciplinary approaches to address conservation challenges, emphasizing collaboration between geneticists, ecologists, and Indigenous communities. Key projects include investigating reproductive isolation mechanisms in delicate mice and genomic responses to environmental changes. Roycroft also supervises research students and actively contributes to global conservation genetics discourse.
Recent research highlights include analyses of population genomics in endangered species like Pookila and studies on sperm competition dynamics across rodents. She has secured funding for initiatives such as the 'Genomics of extinction and isolation on Australian island arks' and explores hybridization effects on threatened species.
