If you have any elasmobranch and killer whale interaction records we want to hear about it!

Please reach our team with the email below, would love to include them in our global review!

Admixed whales had higher genetic diversity, less inbreeding, and a larger effective population size.

In southwestern Australia killer whales, we detected Antarctic-like ancestry, from historic mixing and and even recent admixing within the last century.

New paper from my PhD 🐬🧬

Admixture is increasing genetic diversity and adaptive potential in low latitude killer whales promoting an genetic rescue effect.

New paper from my PhD provides genomic evidence that white shark livers are on the menu for Aussie killer whales!

Super excited to say that I submitted my PhD Friday 🎉

So grateful for my great advisors, opportunities and all the wonderful people I've met along the way!

Excited for 2025 🐋

Hi 🦋, I'm a PhD candidate soon to finish on the evolutionary ecology of Australasian killer whales in Aus 🇦🇺. I dabble mostly in pop/evolutionary genomics, trophic and nutritional ecology of marine predators 🧬🧪👩🏻‍🔬
