Siegfried Krauss

Siegfried Krauss is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia. His research focuses on ecological restoration, plant genetics, and pollination biology, with contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals related to biodiversity and climate action.

Research Interests:

• Genetic divergence and variability in plant species like Banksia
• Restoration ecology and ecosystem recovery
• Pollinator function and plant-pollinator interactions
• Climate change impacts on seagrass and terrestrial ecosystems

Recent Research Trends: Recent articles highlight studies on non-flying mammal pollination, soil microbiota in ecosystem restoration, and genetic responses of seagrass to climatic stress. These reflect a strong emphasis on applied ecology and conservation biology.

Grants & Projects:

• "Saving seagrass from climate change" (ARC Australian Research Council, 2021–2024)
• "Optimising seed sourcing for effective ecological restoration" (ARC Australian Research Council, 2020–2025)

Labs/Teams: Collaborations include work on seagrass genetics, pollinator ecology, and restoration strategies in biodiverse regions such as Western Australia.
