معرفی
Dr Scotte Wedderburn is a Grant-Funded Researcher in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department at the University of Adelaide. His research focuses on conservation biology, freshwater ecology, and threatened species management, particularly in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin. He investigates population genetics, reintroduction strategies for endangered fish species, and the impacts of environmental changes on aquatic biodiversity.
His work emphasizes monitoring freshwater fish populations under drought conditions, invasive species impacts, and ecosystem recovery dynamics. Key projects include studies on Murray hardyhead, pygmy perches, and other small-bodied threatened species across lakes and wetlands.
Dr Wedderburn's publications highlight urgent conservation needs for Australia's native freshwater fishes, advocating for policy-driven actions against pervasive threats like habitat loss and salinity fluctuations. His research bridges molecular ecology, ecological modeling, and field-based monitoring to inform effective conservation translocations and habitat restoration strategies.
