Introduction
PhD Candidate looking at disease dynamics in frog species of South-eastern Australia. Passionate about finding natural mitigation strategies for the amphibian chytrid fungus, and understanding the effects of the pathogen on a species level.

Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist, including language barriers, a lack of understandi...
Amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is associated with declines in ~500 amphibian species globally. Decades after initial disease outbreaks, the trajectory of impacted species varies substantially; while some species continue to decline, there are instances of natural recovery, such as the whistling tree frog, Litoria ver...
Here, we explore the first preprints uploaded to EcoEvoRxiv to characterise preprint practices in ecology and evolution. We aim to understand: 1) in what countries authors who use EcoEvoRxiv are located; 2) the taxonomic diversity of study systems across preprints; 3) whether preprint server use depends on career stage and gender; 4) the extent to...
We used a Photo Identification Method (PIM) to identify individuals of the Blue Mountains Tree Frog, Litoria citropa. By matching the body markings on photographs taken in the field of the lateral, dorsal and anterior views of the frog, we were able to re-match two individuals; one after 88 days and the other after 45 days. We present the first evi...
Under environmental change, the relationship between phenotype and fitness can change rapidly, leaving populations vulnerable. Plasticity within and between generations could provide the fastest mitigation to environmental change. However, plasticity may depend on interactions among parental environment, offspring environment and offspring sex, and...
Wildlife disease is a major cause of global biodiversity loss. Amongst the most devastating is the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ( Bd ). This disease has contributed to declines and extinctions in hundreds of amphibian species, but not all species are affected equally. Some amphibian...
