Biography
Anne studies how individual, social, and ecological mechanisms impact wildlife. Her main model system is a population of Endangered purple-crowned fairy-wrens in the Kimberley (WA). For 20 years, her research group has been following uniquely marked individuals living in cooperative social groups, across their life span, to investigate how physiology and behaviour affect their reproduction and survival. A main focus is to assess the nature of the threats posed by anthropogenic changes such as habitat degradation, invasive species and, above all, climate change.
