Mark did excellent PhD research on phylogeography and phylogenetics on Dasyurids (carnivorous
Australian marsupials). Following more than a year working in conservation genetics in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, he
returned to Australia, and worked in our program on the phylogeography of terrestrial flatworms. He now works as a postdoctoral
researcher at
CESAR at Monash and Melbourne Universities.
Mark's work is based at our main comparative phylogeography study site at Tallaganda
State Forest / National Park, NSW. In particular, Mark is comparing how genetic patterning of a fast-moving flatworm
compares with that of a slower-moving species.
