Biography
At the time of writing for Monash Lens David was a Research Associate at Monash University and Museum Victoria studying the evolution of foraging behaviour in aquatic mammals.
His recently completed PhD in zoology studied the underwater feeding behaviours of captive and wild pinnipeds (seals). This research was supervised by Dr. Alistair Evans (Monash University) and Dr. Erich Fitzgerald (Museum Victoria) and involved performing captive feeding trials at Melbourne and Taronga Zoo to observe and record the detailed behaviours used to capture prey during underwater feeding.
David has moved on to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery as the Senior Curator of Vertebrate Zoology and Palaeontology.
