Katherine Moseby

I specialise in arid zone ecology and reintroduction biology of Australian mammals.

I have nearly 30 years experience in conserving and researching Australian wildlife. My main interests lie in preventing extinctions of Australia's fauna, improving methods for controlling pest animals and studying the interactions and adaptations of predators and prey.

My research interests include rewilding, mammal behaviour, threatened species management and predator/prey interactions. I aim to improve the plight of threatened species through conducting applied research and applying the learnings to conservation management. I study a range of species including bilbies, quolls, bandicoots, bettongs, numbats, malleefowl, woma pythons, phascogales and stick-nest rats. My research focuses on large scale field experiments designed to improve adaptive management and translocation success

I am a co-founder of three research-driven conservation projects; Arid Recovery in northern South Australia, the Middleback Alliance on the Eyre Peninsula and Wild Deserts in NSW. I am an ARC Future Fellow with the University of New South Wales. I live with my partner and three children on our privately-owned nature reserve, Secret Rocks, in outback South Australia.
