Jonathan Webb

Jonathan is a wildlife ecologist with interests in conservation biology, wildlife management, animal behaviour, and physiological and behavioural ecology. His current research focuses on identifying causal factors responsible for declines of endangered fauna, and developing practical solutions to reverse such declines.

Jonathan and his students work on a range of environmental issues that involve a diversity of native and introduced wildlife, including freshwater crocodiles, snakes, lizards, frogs, mammals, shore nesting seabirds, foxes, and cane toads.

Jonathan took up the role of Lecturer in the School of the Environment in May 2012. For the past decade he has been a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney, where he taught the popular field course “Tropical Wildlife Biology and Management”. Prior to working at the University of Sydney, he was an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow at Charles Darwin University and the ARC Key Centre for Tropical Wildlife Management, where he worked on physiological ecology, indigenous use of native wildlife, and the impacts of cane toads on native wildlife.

He has published 114 articles in peer reviewed journals, and has contributed photographs and articles to popular magazines and websites.
