Dr. Natasha Kruger serves as a Lecturer in Animal Ecology within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Wolverhampton. Her research centers on invasive species dynamics, with a primary focus on the African clawed frog ( Xenopus laevis ) as a model organism. Based at the Wulfruna Street campus in Wolverhampton, she maintains an active research program spanning ecology, evolution, and parasitology. Her research interests concentrate on invasive species ecology , particularly examining how amphibian populations adapt to novel environments through phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary change. Key themes include Thermal and pollution stress responses in larval stages Spatial sorting of dispersal traits during invasion Host-parasite coevolution in multihost systems Climate-driven physiological adaptations across altitudinal gradients Predator recognition mechanisms in novel ecosystems Her work integrates field studies across South Africa and Western France with experimental approaches to understand invasion success mechanisms. Dr. Kruger's recent publications reveal strong trends in ecophysiological modeling of global invaders, with increasing focus on multi-stressor interactions (e.g., nitrate pollution combined with thermal stress) and the costs of phenotypic plasticity. Her research demonstrates how spatial sorting shapes landscape resistance and how lineage-specific trait variation drives coexistence dynamics in invasive parasites. The geographic scope spans from native South African populations to invasive French populations, highlighting both donor and recipient ecosystem dynamics. While no formal scientific awards are currently documented in her public profile, her research program receives institutional support through the University of Wolverhampton's research infrastructure. Her work contributes significantly to understanding biological invasions in the context of global environmental change. Dr. Kruger actively supervises research students (though specific names aren't publicly listed) and collaborates internationally, particularly with researchers studying Xenopus laevis populations in South Africa and France. Her laboratory work focuses on amphibian physiology and behavior, utilizing controlled experiments to dissect mechanisms underlying invasion success. Current projects appear to investigate time-budget alterations in invasive species and the evolutionary consequences of spatial sorting at invasion fronts.
